Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Chiang, Doug (illustrator). 1st Edition. THE ART OF BEOWULF, Mark Cotta Vaz and Steve Starkey, preface by Robert Zemeckis, foreword by Neil Gaiman, hardcover with unclipped dust jacket, first edition and first printing, 2007. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner. Gift inscription by book designer Marc English on copyright page. Not a library book or remainder. The black boards are in fine condition. The dust jacket is in fine condition. 10 x 12, 160 pages, 48 ounces. NOTE: DEPENDING ON YOUR ADDRESS, EXTRA POSTAGE MAY BE REQUIRED BECAUSE OF SIZE AND WEIGHT OF BOOK. XX [From the dust jacket] Long before a single shot of Robert Zemeckis's wholly unique film Beowulf was recorded, Doug Chiang's talented design studio (War of The Worlds, Star Wars: Episode 1, And the Polar Express) explored the look and feel of a turbulent dark age world in hundreds of illustrations, sketches, and digital paintings. Fans of Beowulf will relish this collection of enthralling concept art, illuminated by quotes from the production designers, artists, actors, and filmmakers. XX Director Robert Zemeckis and producer Steve Starkey embraced a next-generation filmmaking method for Beowulf - one that began and ended in the art department. First, production designer Doug Chiang led a team of talented artists in creating a fully realized Dark Age world by way of character sketches, blueprints, layouts, costume designs, and full-color portraits and illustrations. Then, actors Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, Ray Winstone, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, and Alison Lohman interpreted Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary's adventurous script, their performances digitized with motion-capture technology. Finally, through cutting-edge computer wizardry, these scenes were combined with Chiang's digital art to bring to life a world unlike anything seen before. This deluxe volume contains the best and most formative pieces of Beowulf production art, including sketches, sculpts, 3-D renders, and digital paintings. Every major set piece is present, from the many gruesome iterations of Grendel to the dragon's design subtleties to the evolution of King Beowulf's castle. Yet, this is not just a gallery of stunning images. The artists, filmmakers, production designers, and actors explain in detailed text the many fascinating steps from script to finished film. The Art of Beowulf is a window to a new era in filmmaking - an unmatched opportunity to see the future before it has arrived. Seller Inventory # 002701
