User blog:XD1/Community Interview- John M. Levin



Greetings fans!

We've been given a rare opportunity to sit down for a Q&A session with visual effects impresario John M. Levin, Industrial Light and Magic's visual effects layout supervisor for The Avengers. Now, I know what I'd ask him, but who cares what I want to know, the important thing is - what do YOU want to know?

Post any questions you might have for him about any of the films he's worked on, his job in general, what it's like to work at ILM, or anything else you might be curious about in the "questions" box below and we'll ask him for you - then check back the week of April 30th for the full interview!
