A visual record of three decades of work on some of the world’s best-known movies One of the world’s leading creature and concept designers, Neville Page has been working on movie and broadcast projects since the turn of the millennium.Movies he has worked on include Minority Report, Planet of the Apes, James Cameron’s Avatar, J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield – for which he designed the creature – The Watchmen, and The Hulk. More recently, he has worked on major broadcast projects including Star Trek series Voyager and Picard: experience distilled into his new tutorial series on Virtual Makeup Design for The Gnomon Workshop. A ‘practical field guide’ to succeeding in concept design Page’s new book project, Beauty in the Beast – the Kickstarter campaign for which goes live on 21 April – is both a visual record of three decades of work in the movie business, and an insight into what it really took to create that work.Although it sets out the artistic skills required to succeed in concept design – the mastery of anatomy, perspective and form – the book is about more than just how to draw, also exploring the realities of working on set, and of collaborating with some of the world’s leading directors. Page describes it as a “deeply personal and practical field guide for anyone [who wants to] build a sustainable career in one of the most demanding industries on the planet”.
