Product Description: For over 30 years, Stan Winston and his team of artists and technicians have been creating characters, creatures and monsters for the silver screen, from "The Terminator" and the extraterrestrial monstrosities of "Aliens" and "Predator" to the amazing dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park" and the fanciful character of "Edward Scissorhands". Now, at last, he's opening up the Stan Winston Studios to collaborate on the first-ever book to reveal all the behind-the-scenes secrets of his groundbreaking and hugely influential artistry and effects work. Featuring an extensive array of sketches, production art, and photographs straight from the studio archives, this is the book his fans have been waiting for!
six star rate It is sad to Know that Mr.Winston has passed away, but his legacy and inpiration is still here in this book. Fantastic book
Just WOW...!!! I have been a long time fan of Hollywood creature effect designers such as Stan Winston, Rick Baker, Patrick Tatopoulos, and many others. So when I have a knowledge of the existence of this book, I immediately ordered my copy. Boy, was my satisfactions all fulfilled. It's a choke load with details of Stan Winston's life, and the creations of iconic Stan Winston Studio.
The author managed to divide the chapters in the books into periods that mark the creations of Stan's legendary creatures. Aliens, Terminators, Predators, and the Jurassic Park's Dinosaurs lead the pack with the rest of the other smaller profiled Winston characters are featured in comprehensive and glorious coverages. Great stills, conceptual designs, behind the scene materials, whatever you ask for, this books fulfills. The writing by Jody Duncan is also very informative without being tiresome.
And I can get enough of Crash McCreery's artworks. One of Stan Winston's most prolific conceptualizers, his designs brought to life many of SWS monster charcaters. Here's hoping that one day, somebody will publish an "Art of Crash McCreery" book.
Befitting to the legend that is Stan Winston With the recent death of Stan Winston I immediately set out to find this book seeing as how I had put off buying the book since it came out. No one seemed to carry it and thus Amazon came through, with the cheapest price, as well. Stan Winston was a genuis in character design and creation. I have idolized his work since I first saw his name on the end credits of Jurassic Park when I was in 2nd grade. One of my heroes, it is sad to see him go in a quiet whisper, but fitting to someone who always was behind the magic.
Must have for Sci-Fi fans A must have. Detailed picts of some of the best sci-fi creatures put to film! A great addition to your star wars "art of books" Also great reference for comic artists as well.
