It examines its early days to its Oscar-winning accomplishments for films such as the Star Wars trilogy, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, the Star Trek films and Cocoon. The book takes a behind the scenes look at the special effects process, from cinematic design, matte painting, model construction and creature development to miniature photography and optical compositing.
