Never Say Never Again
- the maverick James Bond film starring the original 007, Sean Connery
- emerged this fall as one of the series' strongest entries. To helm its
postproduction opticals, producer Jack Schwartzman selected Oscar nominee
David Dryer.
Dryer - who utilized the high-tech facilities of Apogee
- details the techniques employed to produce the pivotal cruise missle
hijacking, the holographic videogame confrontation between Bond and Largo,
and other less apparent illusions. Interview by Don Shay |

In a storm of protest
and praise, ABC's video presentation of The Day After descended
upon the American public as a grim reminder of the potential horrors of
nuclear weaponry. Recalling the highly-charged atmosphere of creative
enthusiasm and emotional abhorrence, effects supervisor Robert
Blalack and members of his Praxis
Film Works team discuss their involvement on the film augmented by Mike Minkow of Movie Magic; and
with additional recollections from director Nicholas Meyer, his predecessor
Robert Butler, and production designer Peter Wooley. Article by Adam Eisenberg |
In a career spanning
almost half a century, effects pioneer Ralph
Hammeras worked on some one thousand motion pictures - garnering, in
the process, four Academy Award nominations and one Oscar.
As recounted in his own words - put to paper nearly twenty years
ago - Hammeras reminisces about his early days in the film business, his
development of the "glass shot" and rear process photography, and his work
on such significant effects productions as The Lost World, Just
Imagine and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Edited by Don Shay |
