Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a behind-the-scenes look at how the digital landscapes in science-fiction movies are created, through the eyes of directors, producers, production designers, and visualization artists. Building Sci-Fi Moviescapes is a visually awesome showcase of some of the most impressive sci-fi and fantasy movies to come out of Hollywood (from 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Matrix and the Star Wars series), as well as the Japanese (Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and others) and European (La Cite des Enfants Perdus and Delicatessen) film industries... not forgetting cult TV series like Star Trek. Production designers' and visualization artists' sketches feature alongside shots from the movies. Through authoritative commentary and revealing interviews with key figures in the filmmaking process, Building Sci-Fi Moviescapes explores trends and digital visualization methods, charting the history of the sci-fi film genre from the 1960s to the present.
