Winston Effect: great book,
Ce commentaire est de: The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio (Hardcover)
I've only spent a brief time flipping through this book, but it's clearly a well thought-out and detailed look at the Stan Winston Studio, including its history and impressive movie credits. I've not seen many of the photographs before, which is refreshing. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase, and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in special effects and Hollywood magic.

Art at it's finest!,

Ce commentaire est de: The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio (Limited Edition Variant Cover - Signed by Stan Winston) (Hardcover)
Where to start really. The book and it's content is absolutely fantastic. Great paper quality, nice hard cover with dust jacket, and overall fantastic imagery. If you were ever a movie lover who enjoyed Terminator, Predator, Alien, or many other popular science fiction series. You'll love this book!The imagery is great and it just goes to amaze you at how well Stan Winston and his team did at creating these horrific monstrosities. There's also quite a few surprises I found about things I never knew and movies I had no idea involved Stan and his team behind the scenes. The autograph on the front page is just an amazing bonus to the incredibly low priced book. It's not a photocopy but an actual original signature in a 3000 book limited edition to add to your collection. I really couldn't believe the price as things like this are usually marked up substantially.

A Visual Effects Masterwork,
By Don Shay - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio (Hardcover)
In the interest of full disclosure, I have known both the subject of this book, and the author of this book, for many years. Having admitted to that, and at the risk of being labeled a shill, this is one terrific volume, cram-packed with photos and conceptual art, and an abundance of text that far surpasses standard coffee-table-book fare.Stan Winston is one of the top artists working in the field of motion picture makeup and creature effects, and from his studio have emerged iconic characters for the Aliens, Terminator, Predator and Jurassic Park series, as well as countless others. Creatively allied with powerhouse filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Tim Burton, Winston has had the talent and resources to perfect his craft and advance the state of the art. Though much of the Stan Winston story is recounted in his own words, Winston shares the limelight with members of his crew, past and present, whose own recollections and reflections, often humorous, enliven the text. At its core, the book is a lovefest; but Winston and his chronicler do not flinch at giving weight to his personal and professional failures, as well as his successes. Author Jody Duncan is no stranger to the material. As editor of Cinefex magazine for 15 years, and one of its principal writers, she has a commanding grasp of the subject matter. She has also authored "making of" books for several Stan Winston films. But this book is no rehash. All of the interviews and perspectives are fresh and illuminating. I own just about every book on makeup and visual effects published in the last 30 years -- several shelves' worth. If I had to pare them down to five essential volumes, "The Winston Effect" would be among them. Don Shay, author of Endangered Liaisons 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

By L. Wood - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio (Hardcover)
Of all the books I own this one satisfies my passion for monster movies as well as my passion for art. Filled with gorgeous high quality photos and in depth insight into each creature and character this book is better than watching it in a movie! The hard work and creative inspiration that goes into each creature of Stan Winston's is truly awe inspiring. It makes me want to work in his studio!

Ce commentaire est de: The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully published hardback book. The paperstock is gorgeous and meant to last a lifetime. Winston has had his hand in so many of the films that I love that this was a no-brainer purchase, and I'm glad Jody Duncan did a worthy tribute to this legend. Tons of high quality images make this a must have for enthusiasts and budding professionals.
