Stan Winston Died
 

If you don't know, he's had a hand in most of our childhood memories regarding film.

RIP

I heard this today and was quite saddened. Have always known of him and appreciated his work, even from a young age. I think most would too if they were familiar with what he's been responsible for in hollywood.

He was brilliant and extraordinarily good at what he did. The best at what he did actually. He will be missed by fans and the entire industry, but also by those who knew him personally, not because of his work. From what I gather, this guy was the nicest dude ever. I read and saw a few things about him and seemed like the most happy and fun guy, with a lot of imagination.

I also thought his wisdom to embrace and adapt to the changing world of effects, and take comfort in the fact that his work was top notch and there'd always be a place for it. He recognized the greater goal and really was honorable from that standpoint, and surely his work won't be forgotten or even topped in the world of CG and whatever else may come.

Kinda a long and intense thing to write on the matter, but I feel like a peice of my childhood and life is attached to his work and it's inspired me immensely in what I do and strive for now, leaving college and trying to get into film. Felt good to write a little something

For those who don't know, he was the designer and creator of the makeup, animatronics, puppets, suits and what not for:
Jurassic Park,Terminator, Terminator 2, Aliens, Predator and a bunch of other shit.

Most recently he did the suits for Iron Man

THE stuff

Didn't he work on the original Star Wars trilogy as well?

Anyways R.I.P. I think everyone has seen at least one film he has worked on. :(

Did he molest you?

They have enough resource material to recreate the 800 series and all that. As far as new bots like they're teasing for the new movies...
