  "When ILM was here, it was all hush-hush," said Kerner Optical CEO Mark Anderson of Fairfax, who had worked for ILM for 18 years before forming the new company with other ILM veterans.
  ...
  "3D is like when black and white went to color," Anderson said."It's a whole new way to see the world."
  
  Kerner Optical still does many of the things that ILM was famous for, including the special effects for all three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
  
  "We built a lake that held 250,000 gallons of water, put six scale-model pirate ships on it and blew them up," Anderson said with some delight.
  
  If you ever wondered where the Energizer Bunny lives, it's at Kerner.Several pink remote-control bunnies sit silently in a shop at the huge facility, waiting for their next commercial.
  
  "You name it and we can build it," Anderson said, standing beside a larger-than-life anatomic wild boar that stars in an upcoming horror movie.
