Book Description
"Whether it came from outer space, beneath the sea, or across the eons from prehistoric time, you can be sure of one thing: it came from the vivid imagination and technical expertise of a special effects genius. An more often than not, it was Willis O'Brien or Ray Harryhausen. Now from the archives of cinematic history comes the story of their work and others' in a fascinating, revealing look at how 150 of the most fantastic fantasy films were made. The silent era and the origin of special effects; the history and techniques of 3-D stop motion animation; the equipment used in the studios; how such overwhelming realism was achieved; solving the 'unsolvable' problems; dealing with production costs; and much, much more ... including scene-by-scene discussions of the major films!"--Cover.

Numerous artists were employed to illustrate the action and visual effects scenes. Particular scrutiny was placed on how each scene would be brought to the screen. These documents, diagrams, shooting schedules, budgets, script suggestions, etc (most never before published). shed new light on this epic that could have been.
