A Filipino (from Mandaue City) ‘Transformers’ fan helps create latest sequel

---

Gem, 31, hails from Mandaue City in Cebu but now calls the city-state home, with wife Amylene. Specifically, he works in Lucasfilms’ Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) division, an Oscar-winning visual effects company founded in 1975 by filmmaker George Lucas, creator of “Star Wars.” ILM has worked on about 300 films—including, apart from the “Star Wars” series, such familiar titles as “Indiana Jones,” “Harry Potter,” “Jurassic Park,” “Star Trek,” “ET” and “Avatar.”

In his four years with the division’s Creature Development department, Gem has been part of the teams that worked on several episodes of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” TV series, the Oscar-winning (full animated feature) “Rango” (2011), portions of the movies “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” and “Pacific Rim” (2013), and Transformers: The Ride, in Singapore’s Universal Studios theme park.

Good. A filipino who knows he is not limited to just watching crappy local TV and having faith in seedy politicians.
