Biography
Ben Snow has been working in visual effects for nearly 35 years. He joined Industrial Light & Magic in 1994, where his first project was to help create the three-dimensional computer graphics image of the Enterprise B for Star Trek: Generations. This version had to intercut seamlessly with the motion-control model shot on ILM's soundstage, one of the first such endeavors for a feature film. He went on to do R&D, lighting and effects development on films like Twister, Mars Attacks! and The Mummy (1999).

A visual effects supervisor since 1998, Ben Snow’s credits include Pearl Harbor, Galaxy Quest, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, King Kong (at Weta digital), Iron Man 1 and 2, Noah, and Avengers: Age of Ultron, amongst many others. Ben’s film work has garnered him four Oscar nominations and between film and real time projects his work has earned him nine Visual Effects Society nominations. His most recent film is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Ben has also written and directed Virtual Reality projects with ILMxLAB, including the Vader Immortal trilogy for Meta Quest, Rift and Sony PS-VR, and a 360 immersive clip for Star Wars: The Force Awakens for Lucasfilm and Meta. He supervised Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, a location-based virtual reality experience made in collaboration with Lucasfilm and The VOID. Ben continues to work on both immersive entertainment and film projects.
