Stan Winston



Stan Winston passed away at the weekend. Winston was a pioneer in make-up, puppet and all manner of practical movie special effects. His work includes: the Terminator series, Jurassic Park 1-3, Edward Scissorhands, Aliens, A.I, Small Soldiers and Batman Returns. He won four Academy Awards during his career.

Winston's work is especially notable for seamlessly marrying physical effects work and computer generated imagery, most notably in films such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Jurassic Park. Winston's most recent work was Iron Man.

He will be missed.
