The Stunning Movie Props of Stan Winston
As CGI slowly seems to be eclipsing more and more movie sequences that might have been rendered using practical effects, its important to look back and honor the work of Stan Winston, special effects pioneer. We’ve done so on a few occasions already, but this new batch of photos from his School of Character Arts offer us a look at nearly his entire catalog, from past to present.
Of course he’s known for his work on Terminator, Alien, Predator and Jurassic Park, but his outfit is also behind more current films like whenever Iron Man needed to have actual, physical armor. It’s a really cool gallery, and I highly suggest you check out the entire thing below:
Winston was the best creature effects guy since Harryhausen. Such an amazing artist. Dude single-handedly turned Predator from a fucking joke into one of the most iconic movie monsters of all time. Seriously, if you’ve never seen footage of the original Predator before they turned it over to Winston to redesign, look at this.
