Steampunk—a grafting of Victorian aesthetic and punk rock attitude onto various forms of science-fiction culture—is a phenomenon that has come to influence film, literature, art, music, fashion, and more. The Steampunk Bible is the first compendium about the movement, tracing its roots in the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells through its most recent expression in movies such as Sherlock Holmes. Its adherents celebrate the inventor as an artist and hero, re-envisioning and crafting retro technologies including antiquated airships and robots. A burgeoning DIY community has brought a distinctive Victorian-fantasy style to their crafts and art. Steampunk evokes a sense of adventure and discovery, and embraces extinct technologies as a way of talking about the future. This ultimate manual will appeal to aficionados and novices alike as author Jeff VanderMeer takes the reader on a wild ride through the clockwork corridors of Steampunk history.

《霍比特人:官方原画设定集》内容简介：《霍比特人》系列因其卓越的艺术指导素来备受期待。JRR•托尔金的小说充盈了天马行空的背景，奇异的生物，更不必说五花八门的精灵，矮人，霍比特人以及独一无二的生活环境。 在电影《霍比特人》里，总计出现了超过120种舞台立体布景和区位环境。拍摄从夏尔向东行进，辗转六个月；所以当你意识到电影《霍比特人》本质上是一部公路电影时，请千万别惊讶。片中季节流转，从仲夏的霍比屯到隆冬的山谷，地形、建筑随之变换。如果你从英格兰一路向东，游至西藏，或许可以找到一些我们用来描绘中土大地的灵感所在。 随着旅程的不断东进，我们为突出旅行的变化而调整了文化风情，事物风貌，所见文字以及主体色调。 为完成这个“意外之旅”，我们召集了一支由艺术家和手工艺家组成的队伍，他们专注于中土大地的文化和工艺。三年里，不同种族及其建筑，工具和武器，霍比屯地理地形和交通工具，等等事物的变幻莫测让这些艺术家痴迷。如同全浸在托尔金笔下的世界。我们这支充满才华的团队所作出的成果不仅需要对霍比特人和矮人文化有着深刻的理解，更需要对比尔博和矮人的意外之旅感同身受。 描绘如此一个神奇世界，没有诸如药方，参考书，道具店，服装店或假发面具店来帮助完成我们导演及其团队想象力所设计出的形象。这意味着，所以东西都需要米拉马半岛周围错落的各种车间逐一打造。 电影是一个合作媒介，需要每个人全身心的投入以制作出最终的影像。每一位艺术家都深受鼓舞，提出他们个人对设计的独到见解；与他人合作凝聚出宏大场景的每一部分。正是通过每一阶段的通力合作，我们才能为您带来银幕上所见的种种精彩画面。 一部成功的精彩电影，必须能够带领观众进入一个让人感到它是真实存在的新世界，欢迎进入一个由矮人，暴龙，巫师，精灵，地精，半兽人，食人妖以及霍比特人融会贯通组成的复杂世界。 《霍比特人:官方原画设定集》介绍了制作一部精彩电影所面临的复杂要求所，需要的关键步骤，也介绍了部分工作中参与制作的艺术家。

The ultimate celebration of the second Hobbit movie reveals the full creative vision of the art and design teams with more than 1,000 exclusive images and photos, including designs and concepts that never made it to the big screen. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Chronicles – Art & Design explores and celebrates the creative vision of the second film in Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson’s trilogy adaptation of The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien.

Compiled by Weta Workshop senior concept designer Daniel Falconer, this is the third book in The Hobbit: Chronicles series and it has been created in full collaboration with key members of the production’s creative team to ensure the most comprehensive and authentic film companion possible.

The Art of The Matrix goes beyond the film. But you cannot be told what this book is...you have to see it for yourself! The most unusual one-of-a-kind giftbook of the season, and the first and only book licensed by the creators of this awesome film--this is the complete pre-production archive of artwork and conceptual drawings, along with the script and commentary in the artists' own voices, in a beautifully printed, large format book, four-color throughout--long awaited by Matrix fans worldwide. Grossing more than $400 million worldwide, ranked as one of the all-time top-selling home video releases with over 2,000,000 DVDs sold, and winner of four Academy Awards--Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing-- The Matrix has proven to be nothing short of a phenomenon. The tale of Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves), a computer hacker forced to confront his special destiny in the salvation of mankind, challenged our perceptions of reality and expanded our expectations of what a movie could be. Spencer Lamm writes in his introduction: "This book was created to express some sense of the massive planning that went into the film. It showcases the bulk of the artwork, presenting a close approximation of what was shown to the studio...Combining all the art, the Wachowskis were able to walk people through the script [219 scenes] producing, essentially, a 400-page giant comic book. Initially a tool to sell the picture, it became a detailed map for production." Exclusive to this volume are: * The complete shooting script by writers/directors Larry & Andy Wachowski * The complete B&W storyboards (700+) by Steve Skroce ( Spider-Man, Wolverine ) * The complete color storyboards by Tani Kunitake ( Armageddon, 12 Monkeys ) * The complete and intensely intricate conceptual illustrations by Geof Darrow ( Hard Boiled, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot ), presented in four double-sided gatefolds * Introduction by Zach Staenberg, Oscar-winning Film Editor * Afterword by William Gibson, author of Neuromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive , and All Tomorrow's Parties * 32-page color photo album of memorable stills and posters * Commentary by all the artists about their work on the film, interviewed especially for this book * Also: Thumbnail sketches by the Wachowski Brothers, deleted script excerpts, scene notes by Phil Oosterhouse (assistant to the Wachowski Brothers), three cut storyboard sequences, film credits. * 488 pages (including 4 double-sided gatefolds and 32 page photo section). 8 38" x 10 78".
