With ''Star Wars, they changed the way special effects were approached. One of their biggest innovations was using computed-programmed cameras that would move around the models and then mimic the same movements whilst in another environment. This would give them space battles that were fast and with effects that made you feel as if you were there. Early on the unions tried to get on the inside of the company and get others employed there, but when the crew demonstrated their ''home-made'' computer-controlled camera [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome it became clear no one else in the business knew how to do what they were doing]].
