Description
Building Sci-fi Moviescapes provides a rare, behind-the-scenes examination of how the digital city and space-scapes in science fiction
movies are created?through the eyes of directors, producers, production designers, and visualization artists.
This is a stunning showcase
of some of the most impressive digital city and space-scapes to come out of the movies, from Hollywood, as well as the Japanese and European
film industries. From seminal movies of the 1980s such as Tron and Bladerunner, to classic series such as The Matrix and Star Wars, to
recent films such as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, this book is the definitive guide to the imagined aesthetics of the future.
Through authoritative commentary and interviews with key directors, producers, production designers, and 3D visual artists, Building
Sci-fi Moviescapes explores trends and digital visualization methods in science fiction films from the last three decades.
Audience
Movie enthusiasts, animators, graphic designers, visual effects artists, 3D artists, film and animation/vfx directors, illustrators, photographers,
computer game artists, comic book artists, aspiring storyboard artists, animators, and games designers?and students of these disciplines.
