Ever since digitized dinosaurs helped make Jurassic Park the highest-grossing film of all time, the movie industry's appetite for digital technology has been voracious. The result has been an unlikely marriage between Hollywood and Silicon Valley- and Digital Domain is among the offspring. The company is half owned by none other than IBM, which plowed some $20 million into the start-up last year. The remaining shares are held by three Hollywood luminaries: James Cameron, director of such films as True Lies and Terminator 2; Stan Winston, an Academy Award-winning creator of mechanical and animated characters; and Scott Ross, former head of George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic, a pioneer in digital special effects.
