Overview
In 2019, Oscar-winning special effects supremo John Richardson released his first book, the bestselling Making Movie Magic, which chronicled his remarkable career in the film industry. A year later, during a house clear-out as the country was stuck in a seemingly never-ending lockdown, he unearthed another treasure trove of unpublished, behind the scenes images from the blockbuster films he worked on. Featuring never-before-seen photos from all of the Harry Potter films, eight James Bond films, Aliens, A Bridge Too Far, Willow, The Omen and many others, all reproduced in stunning colour alongside extended captions which reveal how the effects were achieved, More Movie Magic is a further celebration of Richardson's extraordinary body of work. AUTHOR: John Richardson has enjoyed a 58-year career in the film business as an acclaimed special effects technician and supervisor, working on well over 100 films and several of cinema's biggest franchises. He has been Oscar-nominated six times and won for Aliens in 1986. This is his follow-up book to the bestselling Making Movie Magic (THP, 2019). 220 colour illustrations

Reviews
What these photos illustrate with such delight is the painstaking detail and dedication it takes to create something to make an audience go WOW. . . . For those who occasionally want to peer behind the curtain and see how the magic is brought to life this is a delight. What also shines through is the camaraderie of those working in the effects departments. Photos of people otherwise unseen standing near their creations, a team proud of their work, it is infectious. A treasure trove of behind the scenes insights, Making Movie Magic - The Photographs is an inspiring look at what it takes to bring something grand to the big screen. --Film Juice
