The first time I saw Make used in feature production was reviewing the "Last StarFigher" (1984) digital archives. This was after years of working in scientific visualization, and skirting VFX. Previously, while working in visualizations, Make was king for creating NASA, research publication and geologic animations. Much later, I saw Make in heavy use when entering the visual effects industry, but this was after another 15 years in the console video game industry. It was an incredibly welcome realization, after the, frankly, incredible cluster fuck and demoralizing experience of 15 years creating video games, to learn that the rational UNIX-paradigm (small simple tools) community I'd grown up in was alive in the VFX industry. Returning to the 'old school developers' I'd left in the left 80's was so reassuring to learn the tech world had not completely been brainwashed.
