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.

Cyberdyne

This book offer's good ideas for indipendent fimmakers. Though the book's cover has poor CGI, the info given is incomparable. The behind the scenes views of Winston telling the animatronic Tyrannosaurus his stage directions and meeting a friend at the premiere of Congo are pictures of a welcome change (Serious prop work to humor). In closing, the book is great.






Stan.s the man

Great to see an inside look at the Winston studio and the man behind it all.


reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4



For over 30 years, the amazing 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 terrifying 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 exclusive photographs straight from the studio archives, this is a landmark book in cinema history!
