Ben Snow is a four time Academy Award nominee (best visual effects), and is currently employed by George Lucas' company Industrial Light & Magic (ILM ) based in San Francisco, California.

On completion of his studies at the University, Ben travelled extensively before working as a "runner" for a computer graphics house in London. He later returned to Australia to set up the computer animation department for a company in Sydney where he worked on commercials and broadcast idents and openers.
