in tne
earnest aays
oi cinei
moving pictures was enough to entertain and
amaze audiences. But it was not long before
trick photography was introduced, astounding
viewers with visions of trips to the moon or
journeys in flying cars. As movies developed,
these special effects grew increasingly
sophisticated to keep pace with audience
expectations; the animated dinosaurs of 77ie
Lost World, which astonished audiences in
1925,
would have seemed laughable to post¬
war moviegoers who thrilled to the effects in
Mighty.
loe
Young and War of the Worlds.
Now, over a hundred years after pictures
first began to move, film studios around the
world are engaged in a relentless contest to
produce ever more mind-boggling effects
using the latest developments in computer
technology. From the breathtaking Quidditch
games in Harry Potter to the towering ape in
Peter
Jacksoďs
King Kong, not to mention the
beautifully detailed computer-generated
worlds of Shrek and The Polar Express, there
are now no limits to the wonders that can be
achieved on screen.
Special Effects: The History and Technique
offers a lavishly illustrated history of movie
magic, covering every major production
technique from optical and digital effects,
miniature photography and animation, to
pyrotechnics, animatronics and even sound
effects. Detailed technical explanations of how
each effect is achieved are accompanied by
specially created illustrations. Author Richard
Rickitt has interviewed hundreds of respected
special effects professionals from around the
world, and there are profiles of leading
innovators such as James Cameron, George
Lucas, Robert Zemeckis and Dennis
Muren.
Packed with more than
500
images from
key films, including rare photographs from the
collections of special effects experts, Special
ects is a rich treat for any movie fan.
RICHARD RICKITT is the co-founder of
Clockwork Digital, a company that creates
animation and special effects for film and
television. Recognised as a foremost authority
on the history and technology of special
effects, he regularly gives lectures for
institutions in the UK and abroad, including
London s Science Museum and the British Film
Institute. An award-winning author, he also
writes about film-making and special effects
for various magazines in the UK and America.
