Alumnus Clark Stanton is credited as a playback animator on "Independence Day: Resurgence," which opened at movie theaters this weekend. He was among six team members from Twisted Media in Chicago charged with creating "the dazzling alien holograms, more than 400 futuristic-looking human and alien computer interfaces and other high-tech device screens" in the film, according to reelchicago.com.

The 2011 computer design graduate is lead playback graphic artist for Twisted Media. Stanton took over the firm's television side of operations in 2014. His TV credits include the Chicago PD, Fire and MED programs, "Empire," "The Librarians" and "Scorpion." His other film work includes "The Tank" and "Geostorm."
