Stan Winston : 1946-2008
One of the most revolutionary figures in the history of special effects and make-up. His groundbreaking work on The Terminator, Aliens, Jurassic Park and many other films blew me away growing up. If you’ve read his book (which I received for Christmas ‘06) then you will know that he was not only a genius of film, but a warm-hearted and loving man. He will be greatly missed.

Thanks for posting this, Ethan. I haven’t put anything up just because I really don’t think I can do justice to the man. I think Barry is writing a piece as well. I’ll just put what I said in my Twitter feed:
RIP Stan Winston. You opened my eyes to wonders I never would have imagined possible.
