Projecting Politics

Description

It would be rare these days to find a film that did not in some way depend on the magic of visual effects, from the raging computer-generated dinosaurs in Steven Spielberg’s
, to the fantastical worlds of Tim Burton’s
, and the photoreal tiger and ocean in Ang Lee’s
Through interviews with 16 of the leading effects pioneers from around the world
, author Ian Failes explores the making of some of the most memorable film sequences ever produced, showcasing the shift from practical to digital magic with original behind-the-scenes imagery, shot breakdowns, and detailed explanations of some of the secrets behind the making of cinema’s most extraordinary creations.
