From the unstoppable Terminator to the extra-terrestrial monstrosities of ALIENS and PREDATOR, from the pioneering JURASSIC PARK dinosaurs to the inimitable Edward Scissorhands and the terrifying Pumpkinhead, four-time Academy Award-winner Stan Winston is one of cinema's most innovative and accomplished character creators.
Now, for the first time, he's ready to reveal all the behind-the-scenes secrets of his groundbreaking effects work and artistry. How do you build a life-size T-Rex, or transform Tom Cruise into the vampire Lestat? What was the inspiration behind the look of the Predator, and just how did those super-toys of AI ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and SMALL SOLDIERS work? Those are just a few of the questions answered in this, the authorised history to Stan Winston Studio, which is packed with previously unpublished sketches, production art and photographs straight from the studio archives, along with in-depth contributions from Stan and all his key creative staff.
Offering a unique insight into the special effects industry, the world of Stan Winston Studio and the man himself--the go-to guy for such legendary filmmakers as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Tim Burton--THE WINSTON EFFECT is an unprecedented record of the extraordinary dedication and artistry behind the creation of some of the most iconic characters in cinema history.
