Reader Reviews:
A unique book of monster proportions (1/1 people found this helpful)
What can be said about this fascinating book?
It comes in a slipcover, it has lush images throughout, and it's a good read?
Well let me tell you, I was expecting a `run of the mill' `making of' book, but what I received was a marvellous, originally produced document, an insight into the preproduction process of modern filmmaking.
The pages are filled with detailed images of the whole process of the creation of the film, it demonstrates how all the elements were conceived and put together.
However, the most fantastic thing aside from the main body of the insightful material was the unique build up of the book itself!
In `regular' books there are pages with text and images on them, well this book also contains `post it' notes glues on to the page (yes actual post-it notes), `bubble gum' cards glued on to the pages (each packet holds a selection of removable cards to collect too)...this book actually resembles an assignment journal by the movie producers, it's as if the publishers had been given the raw material and they just printed it as it is for your enjoyment.
I have never seen such an inavative book, filled with such wonders.
This book takes pride of place amongst my ever-increasing book on the subjects of filmmaking.
