Product Description
Product Description
With particular emphasis on animation, this fifth of a series in which film-makers discuss their art includes an extensive interview with Nick Park, the double-Oscar-winning creator of the "Wallace and Gromit" films. There is also an interview with the American animator, Henry Selick, creator of "The Nightmare Before Christmas", and a piece about the founding figure of stop-motion animated film, Ray Harryhausen. Other pieces include an article by Freddie Young, who discusses his work as a cameraman on "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago", notes by Eleanor Coppola about the making of "The Godfather III" and "Dracula", and coverage of Quentin Tarantino's encounter with Brian De Palma. The book looks to the past with veteran director Fred Zinneman, and to the future with Tod Haynes's "Safe".
