Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm

Del Rey, 1996

The Future of the Magic
For 25 years Industrial Light and Magic has woven magic into countless films, either subtle images through `invisible' effects such as matte paintings or through eye-popping visuals that stand out vividly against the film backdrop. ILM has made it's mark on history, for not only have they been and still are the premiere effects house in Hollywood, they have innovated and invented more ...

Very Beautiful Pastels
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R52EG2F6D2TTZ This cover is the most beautiful one of all the Pixar artbooks I've owned. That pastel drawing was done by Ralph Eggleston, production designer. This book will only enhance that feel-good feeling you have after you watch the movie, probably several times if you have kids. There are a lot of pastel storyboards drawn for lighting ...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon-The Official Illustrated Movie Companion
What a wonderful way to see the movie from the directors point of view. The Movie Companion is a great way to guide you along the way with unseen photos, personal experiences and just an all around look at the filming of New Moon will draw you back into the emotion and feeling of being in the movie. I truly enjoyed the emotion as well as the fun that was put into this companion. It has kept me ...

Animation Student Review
Pixar brings us another classic, The Art of The Incredibles. A MUST have book, from beginning to end this book is a visual delight. Lots and lots of images from early stages, to final product. It contains storyboards, character concepts, color scripts, layout designs, prop design, etc. Without any doubt it is a complete art book and worth to buy!

It's a Good One!
Hello Guys, As usual, Mark Cotta Vaz has assembled a brilliant book about the Twilight movie. As it is about the first movie, normally I should have got it first, but I got the "New Moon - official Companion by Mark Cotta Vaz" before this book because I couldn't find it in any Indian retail bookstore. Thanks to Amazon, I finally got my hands on this one. It is really good companion book, ...

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 2010

Just as gorgeous as the first two!
This Illustrated Companion for Eclipse is really nice and give's you an in depth look at the making of the film along with beautifully detailed photographs to go along with it. It is identical to the first two Illustrated Companions but if you really liked them (as I did) I recommend you getting this book. This is a must for Twilight fans!!

Hyperion, 2005

From the beginning...
The Lost Chronicles by Mark Cotta Vaz is the official companion book for the first season of Lost. Since we are coming up on Season Six of Lost in February, the show has obviously been a hit. It has spawned a cottage interest with books and numerous websites covering the various episodes, speculating about the mysterious happenings on the island, and giving people a chance to exchange theories ...

Great look at the art behind Star Wars
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R9KNH7QB5301Z This art book is noticeably better that the already good The Art of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This time round, even more details are added to the concept art. Most of the sketches are now coloured. As usual, the pages are filled to the brim with character designs, environment paintings, storyboards, sculptures and ...

Trek: Art of the Film Rocks
I purchased the Star Trek: Art of the Film when I had spotted the $19.77 price tag. I had been interested in the book, but preferred not to pay the original price tag. This retrospective book is quite possibly the prettiest Art of Trek book I've ever checked out. Concept art, renderings, digital photos/set photos, creatures, the characters, the ships are all explored and shown in the book. ...

Caught in the Web: Dreaming Up the World of Spider-Man 2

Del Rey, 2004

I liked "Behind the Mask of Spider-Man" better
The first and foremost problem with this second behind the scene book of the second Spider-Man movie is that it's just too fully choked with technical aspect and the engineering of the sets and other stuff that I don't really care about. The artworks that actually show Spidey in action, or even just him alone are barely there. I wondered why they titled this book Caught in the Web then. The ...

Harper Prism, 1998

A book that discuses Lost in Space, as well as pop culture
Lost in Lost in Space is an exellent book. It not only talks about Lost in Space, but also about sixties pop culture. I reccomend this book for fans of Lost in Space.

A must-have for all Polar Express fans! Beautiful artwork, including preliminary ideas that were made while making the movie.

Chronicle Books, 2002

Finally an explanation for what my father does!
I grew up in L.A. in the 50's and 60's when it was not OK to discuss matte painting as the studios did not want people to know that they really didn't go on location to film in exotic places. When people asked what my father did for a living, I said he was in "special effects." Then they would say "So, he blows up things?" "No, he paints in things that aren't there..." Now, everyone can see ...

The Art of Beowulf

Chronicle Books, 2007

Great Artwork
I am a lover of concept art and this book really inspired me to keep up with my own artwork, with every page the work just got better and better. The wide format of the book allowed for a much better view of the wide screen production stills. Its a great buy, in my opinion.

Bantam Books for Young Readers, 2002

Wow - Exciting, Interestering, and Fun to Read!
I am a huge Alias fan. I found this book to be a great addition to my Alias collection. The book is very interesting with details about the characters, actors, design sets, and just about everything. I was interested in how some of the actors and actresses have kind of created their own characters behind the "script". It was a very fun and exciting read. I would reccomend this to anyone who is a ...

The Art of Batman Begins

12 reviews
Mark Cotta Vaz, 2005

Slightly lacking in depth
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1O0G2KVNUEO7M This book is also pretty light on content, just like The Dark Knight: Featuring Production Art and Full Shooting Script. It explains very little on the production of the movie. You might probably even get more information on Wikipedia. There are pretty detailed storyboards in the book, even if they are only a few pages. The ...

LucasBooks, 1996

An Ambitious Pre-Prequel Project
For Star Wars fans of the mid-Nineties, liking Star Wars was actually a defining characteristic - it wasn't frowned upon as Star Trek unfortunately is - and any new info or project was savagly consumed. So, when Lucasfilm announced it's 'Star Wars Movie Without The Movie', fans were thrilled. This book ties together every chapter unveiled in multimedia (the book, the comic, the toys, the CD, ...

Living Dangerously: The Adventures of Merian C. Cooper, Creator of King Kong

"King Kong": Just An Entry On His Resume
The capture of Kong and his arduous voyage to a New York theater were child's play compared to the task facing biographer Mark Cotta Vaz. To him fell the challenge of binding the life of one of the twentieth century's great adventurers, Merian C. Cooper, within the covers of a reasonably sized volume. No one need blush to admit that Cooper [1893-1973] truly seemed "bigger than life." From the ...
