TJ Falls

"We melded a lot of technologies, really. There were a lot of sets that were practically built that we then augmented and extended upon and finding the best way to extend them, creatively shoot them to have the most fulfilling result, to our traditional all-CG approach for our spaceships and the way that we deal with things. And then still utilizing things like our StageCraft technology that [Industrial Light & Magic] uses. And for 'Andor,' we didn't use one of the standing StageCraft sets, but we still used the StageCraft technology."
―TJ Falls discussing working on Andor[2]

TJ Falls worked as a visual effects producer for Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker[1] and the Star Wars: Andor television series.[3]

For Andor, Falls and the crew would augment and extend upon the practically built sets to find the best way to extend and creatively shoot the scenes. They had a traditional all-CG approach to the spaceships and other parts of the show. They used StageCraft technology but did not use any of the StageCraft sets. A practically built set was used for the embassy where Mon Mothma works. Falls and the crew built a specific LED screen using StageCraft technology, which went around the embassy.[2]
