O knihe

"Every art has its stars. Buddy Gillespie's star shone brightly in the Hollywood motion picture industry for more than four decades as a creator of dramatic, eye-popping visual effects for Hollywood's major motion pictures.

A master of both art and technology, he served as head of special effects on more than 180 major feature films at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, endowing their stories and adventures with unforgettable images that enhanced and supported their dramatic impact. For his work in these cinematic milestones he was rewarded with twelve Academy award nominations and four Oscars.

This very readable and richly illustrated set of memoirs chronicles the life and work of one of Hollywood's most distinguished filmmakers, describing his career in detail and revealing the complex techniques with which he achieved his results."
