Product Description

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!

 six star rate September 5, 2008
It is sad to Know that Mr.Winston has passed away, but his legacy and inpiration is still here in this book.
Fantastic book
Just WOW...!!! August 26, 2008
I have been a long time fan of Hollywood creature effect designers such as Stan Winston, Rick Baker, Patrick Tatopoulos, and many others. So when I have a knowledge of the existence of this book, I immediately ordered my copy. Boy, was my satisfactions all fulfilled. It's a choke load with details of Stan Winston's life, and the creations of iconic Stan Winston Studio.
The author managed to divide the chapters in the books into periods that mark the creations of Stan's legendary creatures. Aliens, Terminators, Predators, and the Jurassic Park's Dinosaurs lead the pack with the rest of the other smaller profiled Winston characters are featured in comprehensive and glorious coverages. Great stills, conceptual designs, behind the scene materials, whatever you ask for, this books fulfills. The writing by Jody Duncan is also very informative without being tiresome.
And I can get enough of Crash McCreery's artworks. One of Stan Winston's most prolific conceptualizers, his designs brought to life many of SWS monster charcaters. Here's hoping that one day, somebody will publish an "Art of Crash McCreery" book.
Befitting to the legend that is Stan Winston June 19, 2008
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.
