 The Shape of 'Dune': Despite enormous popularity as a novel, twenty years would elapse before Frank Herbert's Dune would make the quantum leap from printed page to cinematic reality. The imposing challenge of adapting the widely-read cult classic - a saga rivaling the novel itself in epic proportion - would ultimately be met by writer-director David Lynch. In consort with cinematographer Freddie Francis, production designer Tony Masters, and a battery of high-powered effects supervisors including Carlo Rambaldi, Albert Whitlock, Barry Nolan, Kit West and Brian Smithies, Lynch would labor diligently for three-and-a-half years to bring his vision of Herbert's exotic work to life. From the worm-infested deserts of Arrakis to the murky decadence of Giedi Prime, Lynch and his production unit combineda wealth of experience with fresh innovation to weave the richly-textured tapestry of Dune.

 The Whos and Whys of How the Grinch Stole Christmas: For his live-action version of the beloved Dr. Seuss story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, director Ron Howard created the town of Whoville and nearby Mount Crumpit on massive soundstages at Universal, then relied upon makeup maestro Rick Baker to transform actor Jim Carrey and a huge cast of supporting actors and extras into the fictional Grinch and his Who neighbors. Adding visual dazzle to the proceedings were special effects coordinator Allen Hall, in charge of on-set gags, and Digital Domain, whose virtual set extensions and other effects lent style and verisimilitude to the fantasy world.

 300: A Beautiful Death: The Battle of Thermopylae, in which 300 Spartans fought to the death against a massive Persian onslaught in 480 B.C., forms the basis of 300, a big-screen adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel loosely based on historical accounts of the incident. As with Sin City, a previous Frank Miller movie adaptation, director Zack Snyder captured Miller's impressionistic style by shooting most of the action against bluescreen and compositing it into computer generated sets and environments. Visual effects supervisor Chris Watts oversaw the digital work involving nearly a dozen vendors, led by Hybride Technologies, Animal Logic and Hydraulx. Article by Joe Fordham Pan's Labyrinth: Into the Labyrinth: In Pan's Labyrinth, the acclaimed film written, produced and directed by horror mogul Guillermo Del Toro, a young girl, caught up in the brutality of the Spanish Civil War, escapes her grim reality by immersing herself in a gothic fantasy world of her own creation. To realize the myriad strange creatures and magical environments of her fantasy life, Del Toro relied on long-time collaborators DDT Efectos Especiales for makeup and animatronic effects, while visual effects were provided by CafeFX. Article by Joe Fordham Zodiac: The Streets of San Francisco: Director David Fincher explores the serial killer theme with Zodiac, a chilling cinematic account of the real-life search to find the infamous murderer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay area in the late 1960s and '70s. Seeking historically accurate, era-appropriate environments for the period film, Fincher called upon visual effects artists at Matte World Digital and Digital Domain to provide the desired look, with effects ranging from simple split-screens to all-CG shots. Additional fix-it and cleanup work was provided by a host of independent artists and vendors. Article by Jody Duncan OVERVIEWS Ted Rae on Apocalypto: To realize his epic film, Apocalypto, a look into the ancient Mayan civilization, as seen through the eyes of a young hunter on the run from brutal enemies, director Mel Gibson creates an immersive experience enhanced by a full range of effects that included extensive makeup and animatronics, plus miniatures and visual effects contributed by seven vendors. Rick Baker & Erik Bruhwiler on Norbit: With the help of makeup veteran Rick Baker and visual effects house Digital Dimension, actor Eddie Murphy once again inhabits multiple roles in the DreamWorks comedy Norbit, playing the meek and nerdy Norbit, his 400-pound bully of wife, Rasputia, and an irascible Asian named Mr. Wong. |

Caravaggio Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC answers an Italian journalist's questions about his stunning work on a lushly photographed television bio-pic that traces the life of the great artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, who created a series of masterpieces during the late 16th and early 17th century. In addition to discussing his technical approach to the project, Storaro will address the influence of Caravaggio's paintings on his cinematography. Muse music video "Knights of Cydonia" Longtime AC technical editor Christopher Probst will provide a firsthand account of his work on a creative, artfully campy music video that recently earned him top honors in the cinematography category at the Music Video Production Association Awards.

Working alongside renowned music-video director Joseph Kahn, Probst found himself wrangling Barbarella-like warrior-women, robots, unicorns, holograms, horses, motorcycles and a masked cowboy hero.

 Sight & Sound Films Of 2007: See what made our Top Ten of 2007 and read our critics nominations in full. Cruel Intentions: Ang Lee: Ang Lee's Lust, Caution portrays a lost world whose glittering surfaces mask sexual intrigue and political treachery. He tells Nick James how a midlife crisis prompted his triumphant return to the Shanghai and Hong Kong of the late 1930s. It ain't me, babe: In I'm Not There Todd Haynes turns his gift for precise recreations of the past to a portrait of Bob Dylan's early years that uses six different actors to personify aspects of the music legend. And it works, says Michael Gray PLUS Jonathan Romney talks to the director about gaining Dylan's approval and James Bell surveys the singer's journeys into cinema. Things fall apart: Southland Tales, the second feature from Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, imagines an apocalyptic American near-future that's not far removed from our current political, economic and ecological collective insanity, says Amy Taubin. She talks to the director about the Second Coming and the Terminator in the White House. Mystery Trains: Trains in movies are claustrophobic microcosms that intensify class conflicts, criminal urges and sexual tension - and no one better exploited their potential than Alfred Hitchcock in The Lady Vanishes, says Graham Fuller PLUS Philip Kemp celebrates the career of star Margaret Lockwood. The sheltering sky: Mexican director Carlos Reygadas' Silent Light infuses its tale of a love triangle in a strictly religious Mennonite community with a sensuality and beauty that's near miraculous, says Jonathan Romney. He talks to the director about why real life always looks better than CGI.

 French Cinema Now: French Exceptions: The range of French film-making is much more extraordinary than the titles that turn up in an art cinema near you. Jonathan Romney unearths some of the riches we're missing.

By Jonathan Romney. French cinema now: Intimate connections: Parisian chic or Proven?al shtick - how has the French cinema that reaches the UK reflected and shaped our view of life across the Channel? By Lucy Mazdon and Catherine Wheatley.
