(sounds l...Hi 'Anonymous Correspondent' ... (sounds like the title of an un-produced Hitchcock sequel?)<br /><br />I'm absolutely with you on the Brosnan book! Bought one in the mid 70's in hardcover - nearly read the thing to death. Also bought the later updated edition which covered disaster movies, and had better quality images.<br /><br />The chapter on Brit Fx Men is pure, 100% gold! Bugger all was ever documented on guys like Warrington, Richardson, Veevers, Howard, Bowie and co, - with first hand face to face interviews too, so Brosnan deserves a 'bow' from effects fans.<br /><br />The late Gerald Larn who was Shepperton's last staff matte painter, told me how he well remembered and enjoyed Brosnan's day in the department 'chewing the fat on special effects' as he termed it.<br /><br />One of my most frequently read/dive into books in my library, MOVIE MAGIC.<br /><br />PeteNZPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863364769084676156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063592677187148799.post-62100324521548893852023-05-01T12:42:07.092+12:002023-05-01T12:42:07.092+12:00Hi Rick,

I've owned a copy since the mid 1970s. It's one of the few books I've vowed never to throw out or sell because it was such a source of inspiration to me in the days before Star Wars made "special effects" a household word. Thank you as always for all your hard work and opening our eyes to the hard work of so many special effects technicians and artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063592677187148799.post-79328918528098538902023-05-01T04:56:41.309+12:002023-05-01T04:56:41.309+12:00Curse you!
