Visual
Concept Entertainment
began in 1982 after founder Peter Kuran finished work as animation
supervisor for Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) on
George Lucas' The Empire Strikes Back.
Kuran started his career in 1976 working as an animator
on the original Star Wars. As an animator on Star
Wars, Kuran introduced the concept of animating shadows
and interactive light to objects to make them appear more
interactive.
Since that time, Peter and VCE have worked on over
250 theatrical motion pictures including both "Addams
Family" films and all three "Robocop" features.
VCE work was seen in "Men In Black", "The 6th Day", "Thirteen
Days", "A Beautiful Mind," "League of Extraodinary
Gentlemen," "X-Men 2" and "The Last
Samurai." In 2003, Peter won an Academy Award in the
Scientific and Technical Achievement category for his RCI
Color Restoration Process.
As
a filmmaker, Peter has produced five documentaries on the
subject of Atomic history, weapons and testing. Beginning
in 1995, Peter produced and directed the award winning film
"Trinity and Beyond (the Atomic
Bomb Movie)" and has since produced
Atomic Filmmakers, Atomic
Journeys, Nukes in Space
and Nuclear 911.
