Dinosaurs, Dragons, & Drama-The Odyssey of a Trickfilmmaker-Volume 2

Dinosaurs, Dragons, & Drama -The Odyssey of a Trickfilmmaker - Volume 2  
An Illustrated Memoir by Jim Danforth

Volume Two recounts the middle years of Jim Danforth's film career—including his work on The Legend of King Kong, Flesh Gordon, Hiero's Journey, Conan, Clash of the Titans, and Caveman; plus his period as head of the visual effects department at Cascade Pictures of California, one of the largest west-coast producers of TV commercials. Would-be filmmakers may enjoy Jim's in-depth account of his work as the writer, co-designer, director, and co-producer of the adventure film Timegate—and why that film crashed and burned. Between these events, Jim examines his philosophy of visual effects and of trade unionism; and also discusses some of the effects techniques used in the days before computers generated images.

Over 700 photos, drawings, and paintings
