One of my personal hero’s died last night. Stan Winston was the creator of nearly every special effect that i admired growing up. Terminator, Aliens, Predator, Jurassic Park, and Ironman were all aided by his, and his team’s handiwork. With the advent of CG, his skills were featured less and less, and i still think that is a shame. I don’t know if i can truely call him one of the pioneers of puppetry, but he did bring it up to a level where i considered it a work of art every time. The studio he created lives on and will produce the effects for the new series of Terminator movies, and i hope it lives on for a very long time.

Stan Winston passed at his home in Los Angeles last night after an ongoing battle with cancer, at age 62.

If you havn’t already,… Moment of silence people……..

Ok. If you have read my bio you know im a sucker for Scifi stuff, but there are a few bits of Scifi i am sorta devoted to. One of them is the Doctor Who series.

I can’t remember much about the original series anymore but the new one has picked up all of the good stuff i remember from olden days… but that isn’t exactly what i meant to write about. A new season just started up… Read more…
