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 ...

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!

Superb "Art of" in the style of the "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" mach II series
There have been plenty of disappointing "Art of" books lately, but this is not one of them. This is right up there with the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy (three "Art of..." books), THE PHAMTOM MENACE, ATTACK OF THE CLONES and REVENGE OF THE SITH art books. Here is a brief list of the attributes that distinguish this volume from less exceptional volumes: 1. Very high quality paper and ...

Inspiring Artwork
A fascinating look at how the artwork was developed for the movie. I found it particularly interesting to see the development of the costumes. Recommended for anyone wanting to enhance their understanding of the artist's role in the making of films, or for those interested in developing their own artistic skills.

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.

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

Villard, 2005

America"s Greatest Unknown Hero!!!!
At this point in time Merian Cooper is known as the creator of the original movie King Kong. But that is just the tiniest tip of the iceberg of his AMAZING life. We owe a debt to Mark Vaz for unearthing all these facets to Merian Cooper. There is no one quite like Cooper in the breadth of his undertakings, maybe Teddy Roosevelt, maybe Sir Richard Burton, maybe Benjamin Franklin but none came ...

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 ...

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 ...

An excellent inside look at the making of the movie.
For those of you who wanted to know how it was done and why it was done, and see some pretty pictures in the meanwhile, this is probably the book for you. It's a good accompaniment to the special features on the Special Edition DVD: "Green World" and "Miller on Miller." Basically it's a production diary detailing the thought processes, costuming and technology that went in to creating The ...

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 ...

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 ...
