Its a bit belated but better late than never. One of the greatest special effects artists the film industry has ever had passed away two weeks ago.
Stan Winston who trained as a sculptor & painter provided some of the most memorable non human characters in films & truly brought them to life & the directors visions.
Without him & his team films like Aliens , Terminator 2 , AI would have been but as nothing.
His legacy will remain in these films inc.his own directorial gem Pumpkinhead & his record in Oscars is second to none. He pioneered many of the techniques now used & long before the use of CGI made creatures like the Alien Queen truly alive.
Some photographs as a reminder to a film great.Without him directors of the calibre of Cameron & Spielberg would have nothing to show for. RIP. A very sad loss for an irreplaceable man who was working on Terminator Salvation (part 4 of the Terminator series)at the time of his death .
