  • Overview

    As blockbusters employ ever greater numbers of dazzling visual effects and digital illusions, this book explores the material roots and stylistic practices of special effects and their makers. 
     
    Gathering leading voices in cinema and new media studies, this comprehensive anthology moves beyond questions of spectacle
    to examine special effects from the earliest years of cinema, via experimental film and the Golden Age of Hollywood, to our
    contemporary transmedia landscape.

    Wide-ranging and accessible, this book illuminates and interrogates the vast array of techniques film has used throughout its history to conjure spectacular images, mediate bodies, map worlds and make meanings.
     
    Foreword by Scott Bukatman, with an Afterword by Lev Manovich.
