SynopsisSyd Mead is one of the most accomplished and widely respected concept artists and industrial designers. His career boasts an incredible array of projects from designing cars to drafting architectural renderings, but he is most famous for his work as a concept artist on some of the most visually arresting films in the history of cinema. Since working on Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1978 as a production illustrator Syd Mead always aimed to render "reality ahead of schedule," creating evocative designs that marry believable content with a neofuturistic form. It was this ability to predict technological potential that helped Mead create such a distinctive and influential aesthetic. From his work with Ridley Scott on Blade Runner, to his striking designs for the light cycles in Tron, to his imposing concept art for the U.S.S. Sulaco in James Cameron's Aliens, Syd Mead played a pivotal role in shaping cinema's vision of the future. The Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist represents the most extensive collection of Mead's visionary work ever printed, compiling hundreds of images, sketches and concept arts from a career spanning almost 40 years, many of which have never been seen in print before. Each entry provides a unique insight into the processes involved in Mead's practice as well as illuminating the behind-the-scenes work involved in creating a fully realized, cinematic depiction of the future.

The ultimate Movie Artist
I've seen a lot of Syd Mead's work in his own publications over the years and enjoyed seeing his work featured in more magazines and periodicals than I can count, but none have come close to capturing the vast diversity in a showcase this book provides. If movies are the ultimate form of story telling and Syd Mead is the ultimate visual futurist, this book is in a word, the Ultimate.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
