Stan Winston biography

I'm basing my work and investigation on Stan Winston because he created the best visual effects and make up artist for his time the places Stan studied at was high up and impressive, In this work and his creation he made the audience up out of their seats with Terminator and Aliens
Then he scared Arnie with his Predator.He made all dinosaurs for Jurassic Park.He get in to the film alien by using the Alien Queen.He even made suits for Iron Man.he made the design and costumes of avatar

he was born in 1946 and died in 2008 and in his time living he created some of the scariest designs that are so memorable that stay in our heads which makes us want more of Stan Winston works we wanted more thrills with the creation he had already made. 

When Stan was a kid he loved werewolf films and still did up until he died getting the fantastic effect on basing his creations on werewolf old films

Stan Winston is a unique type of person who can create a master piece but still scare the living hell out of the audience watching his sets and creators casting the wonderful madness of the films. Stan is a multi-player he can do all types of make up, sets, disturbing but wonderful creates and outfits or metal suits.
Stan is a huge part of filming experience he makes every film I've watched better than another movie what I love about his work is the fact he has made all the characters the all the costumes for all the actors and actress's apart of directing.
This is all my research http://stanwinston-sash.blogspot.com on a different blog 
The reasons why I have chosen Stan Winston is because he inspired me to think and me creative in my writings and creating drawing in my own person style, I don't like the fact that Stan Winston is not among us any more all of this productions and creations will live on the amount of people have bought replicers of the creations he has made made him who the genius he was and after the pasted away in 2008 he is still remembered for his work. 

Watchmen

Alan moore and Dave gibbson presents Watchmen Dc Comic 1940's to 1960's recreative in 2009
This was created during Vatenam and the Cold war these hero's were created because america had a hint the Russian were going to plan a nuclear attack on the world and the Americans so they started a artistic propaganda comic when one of the hero's has been in the war one is based around nuclear and trying to revolve the world in all i think it was a good comic but it could of been done better as a film. After watching it they have missed out a lot from what i can remember from the comics when I was younger, they have changed the whole story line from the comic to the film missing out a lot of detail from the comic to the film the socialism of this comic is very true for it's time along with the culture discussion between countries and religion  are all involved with this comic it all so teaches you how not to be to others. I do love the artist characters design and how the got a well known logo to describe the watch men a simple smiley face with blood dripping over the right eye. Its also very bright and dark grim colours in the comic as well as the film its still during the war with America (united states) getting paranoid that the Russians will plan an nuclear attack on them and the rest of the world its all so very racism to others countries and their beliefs and cultures .

Biography:
Stephen Shore became interested in photography at the age of six when he received a photographic darkroom kit. Three years later, he began producing his own color images with a 35mm camera. In 1957, he was given a copy of “American Photographs” written by Walker Evans, which was a book that had a strong influence on his development. At the age of seventeen, Shore met Andy Warhol and was inspired to photograph the artist’s studio and surroundings. In 1972, he turned to the American landscape, documenting cross-country road trips. Shore was the first living photographer to have a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1971.

http://www.afterimagegallery.com/shore.htm Stephen Shore was interested in photography from an early age. Self-taught, he received a photographic darkroom kit at age six. He began to use a 35mm camera three years later and made his first color photographs. At ten he received a copy of Walker Evans's book, American Photographs, which influenced him greatly. At age seventeen Shore met Andy Warhol and began to frequent Warhol's studio, the Factory, photographing Warhol and the creative people that surrounded him. In 1972 Shore embarked on a series of cross-country trips and "on the road" photographs of the American landscape.

Reprinted with Stephen Shore's permission as reproduced in his book Uncommon Places, 

published by Aperture, 1982. Among the first to work almost exclusively in colour, Shore, in 1971, became the first living photographer to have a one-person show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

William Eugene Smith was born in Wichita, Kansas, in 1918. He began taking photographs in 1932 and early subjects included sports, aviation and the dust bowl

After studying at Notre Dame University for a year he joined the staff of Newsweek. In 1938 Smith became a freelance photographer working for life magazine, collies weekly and the new York times

In 1942 Smith became a war correspondent and spent most of the next three years covering the Pacific War. His most dramatic photographs were taken during the invasion of Okinawa in April 1945. On 23rd May Smith was seriously wounded by a Japanese shell fragment. He was taking a photograph at the time and the metal passed through his left hand before hitting the face. Smith was forced to return to the United States and he had to endure two years of hospitalization and plastic surgery.

In 1947 Smith joined life magazine and over the next seven years produced a series of photo-essays that established him as the world's most important photojourlist. This included essays entitled: Country Doctor, Hard Times on Broadway, Spanish Village, Southern Midwife and Man of Mercy.

Granted a Guggenheim Fellowship 1956-1957, Smith began a massive picture essay of Pittsburgh. This was followed by another large project on new York (1958-59). Smith also taught photojourlism  at New York's New School for Social Research and was president of the American Society of Magazine Photographers.
