Movie stunts & special effects : a comprehensive guide to planning and execution / Andrew Lane. - 296 pages ; 23 cm
Throughout film history, one of the fundamental fantasies portrayed on screen has been the kind of physical action few of us could ever experience in real life. The image of an 'every man' engaged in hand-to-hand, mortal combat, defending his family against an overwhelming force, speaks to our most primal instincts and thus became a mainstay of movie entertainment. In order to translate these fantasies to the screen, filmmakers have been developing special skills and crafts for over 100 years. This title is designed to inform filmmakers on how to plan for and utilize these crafts by engaging and empowering filmmakers to better communicate with stunts and effects practitioners, and thereby enabling them to more fully realize their vision.
