Description

As CGI and digital effects dominate Hollywood blockbusters, a new appreciation has developed for the use of practical effects to suspend disbelief in film. Jesse Velez, owner of Raptor House FX, reveals the clever techniques and physical artistry used in cinema, from tricking the eye with miniatures and forced perspective to creating the illusion of life through animatronics, puppetry, and costumes. Curious experiments demonstrate key concepts, and teach 100-year-old methods still used today.

About the Author
Jesse Velez is the owner and design lead at Raptor House FX, a practical effects studio which pairs classic techniques with cutting-edge digital design and rapid manufacturing. He co-created the animatronic "Thing" hand featured in the viral Netflix video that garnered 42 million views, as well as the Alien "facehugger" used in Fox's official Alien Anthology 40th Anniversary Short Film collection.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
