Attack of the Clones (2002)
Ryan Church: "Iain McCaig said that they were looking for illustrators and designers, and he used the term 'Ralph McQuarrie-types.' He said I should submit my stuff. So I did, and got a call a while after that, to come up and join the team."

Ryan Church: "This is obviously the realization of a lifelong dream, since looking at the Joe Johnston sketchbooks. That's the stuff I copied when I was a kid."
Art by Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie:
Church:"We provide key-frame production illustrations that are the link between the concept work that Doug [Chiang] and his group did, and the final work that the ILM matte painters and the effects crew will be doing. It's kind of previsualizing lighting, mood and color schemes".
"Some of the colors we've been working with are very bright reds and oranges, very passionate and luminous, hearkening back to historical illustration. There are foreboding color schemes and atmospheres that go with the story as well. It's all very dramatic."
4/5
Ryan Church: "Erik Tiemens and I did 14 paintings in two weeks of the end battle, and they got all approved by George. That means we were really on the same page, conceptually, because we kind of went crazy. We were kind of pushing things."
