Book Reviews of The Crafting of Narnia: The Art, Creatures, and Weapons from Weta WorkshopBook Review: For Those Of Us... Summary: 5 Stars
I know it is probably not very economically smart of me right now (it's not a stereotype about college students being poor, trust me), but I am big on collecting "making of" and "art of" books, mostly for Disney movies. This was no exception. When I saw it was on sale, I had to get it. There are many beautiful photographs and some very interesting concept art. A must-have for the collector of books about the making of various Disney movies.
Summary of The Crafting of Narnia: The Art, Creatures, and Weapons from Weta Workshop Before you can film a fantasy movie, you must create an authentic world. What kind of weather is found within, what would the buildings be made of, what creatures populate its land, and what is the history behind its people? For every stunning frame of film, there have been countless hours of work to create such majesty. And what a task to bring to the screen one of the world's most beloved children's series, C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. This book, written and designed by the artists of the Academy-Award winning special effects house Weta Workshop, chronicles the stunning concept drawings, designs, and props that helped director Andrew Adamson shape the world of Narnia in cinematic glory. With detailed photography, hundreds of never before seen drawings and sculptures, and commentary from the artists and craftspeople of the workshop, discover the intricate work and exhaustive research and detail that went into each piece, prop, and weapon made by Weta Workshop for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This beautifully illustrated collector's edition follows the journey of ideas, from initial sketches through finished designs to final, exquisitely hand-crafted props, armor, and miniatures. Witness firsthand the intricate models for the creatures in the White Witch's army, the difference between a Boggle and a Harpy, how Mr. Tumnus evolved, how dwarves and Centaurs were armored, and much, much more. The Crafting of Narnia provides a unique window into the movie-making experience.
