Which ILM book is that? It might be worth me picking up a copy for reference. ---

It might be worth me picking up a copy for reference. ILM: into the digital realm. it’s an expensive booger, though… usually around $50 on amazon. i’ve been meaning to pick up a copy for years. ---

I’m actually doing some similar measurements (using Bill Murray’s height of 6’ 3’’ from an old online bio) and it looks like Vigo is slightly larger than my 5 x 8 foot canvas replica. Right now, 107 inches (just about 9 feet). I’m trying to verify his height and a few other things. I will update you with more info as it comes available. ---

Bill’s IMDB Bio lists his actual height at 6’ 2". [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/bio](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/bio) ---

The original sketch, concept, composition was done by Glen. He supervised the production of it for ILM. It wasn’t really a painting.. the background was painted ofcoruse. But it was a photograph that was weathered to be painted. ---

Also, keep in mind when scaling up the painting from the museum scenes, that it’s also on an easel/platform that puts the painting about a foot off of the floor of the set. ---
