San Francisco radio station's morning show, Sarah and Vinnie's Secret Show on Alice 97.3 KLLC-FM, interviews ILM animator Shawn Kelly. Shawn Kelly is an award winning animator known especially for the Bonecrusher skating on the highway scene in the first Transformers live action movie.

In the interview Mr. Kelly discusses with the hosts Star Wars, and of course, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen animations.

Of note is that he describes how they come up with the fight scenes and movements of the characters, and Michael Bay making animators cry with his language and bluntness! He also discusses his work on Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Devastator and his pieces/parts, Pretenders, Shia, and more.

And did you know...Transformers would take 16,000 years to render on your home computer! And ILM created 51 movie minutes of renders for ROTF. Did you help influence the effects in the TF movie? Shawn says that you might have!
