Another of Don's favourite issues and a prelude to the next Cinefex issue covering Kong The next issue of Cinefex will feature The Chronicles of Narnia, Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Zathura, The Legend of Zorro, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, and King Kong.

Only within the pages of Cinefex, can you find behind-the-scenes photos of the golden age of visual effects. Long before DVD extras and YouTube behind-the-scenes videos, Cinefex took its place as the only in-depth chronicle of what was really happening in the studios throughout the golden age of visual effects—and that depth has been remarkable. It is an era of filmmaking in which every major project brought something utterly new and unique that had never before been attempted, requiring that artists fully understand the challenge before a solution was devised. Within the pages of Cinefex, and for a long time virtually nowhere else, the world's most creative pioneers and legends in VFX have been eager to share everything they knew and had devised working on these projects. Cinefex is also a vital historical document from an era before digital tools took over and abstracted the visual-problem-solving process. But many current filmmakers are smartly mining practical techniques and combining them with the best and most accessible digital tools to produce amazing images, without invoking a crushing budget. Cinefex is the best — and really, the ONLY — resource for in-depth, detailed information about how to get amazing shots in-camera and use other technology, from motion control, pyrotechnics and prosthetics to digital compositing and computer graphics, to take the audience to places they've never been before.
