Beckett. Beckett is known for his six award-winning animations, made between the years 1972-1975, that were ground-breaking at the time and that continue to influence artists today. He is also recognized for his contributions to the first \u003ci\u003eStar Wars \u003c\/i\u003emovie, as he was head of the animation and rotoscoping area. Beckett was a shooting star during a critical time of change; an innovative genius as well as a unique and compelling character. His life and work illuminates significant social and cultural changes of that time: the emerging independent animation movement of the 1970s in the United States; the rebirth of the visual effects industry; the intersection of animation with newly developed video imaging and computer graphics; and the intense Cultural Revolution that occurred in the 1960s. Beckett's work in animation and effects was pioneering. His premature death cemented his mythic reputation as a larger than life artist and personality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive biography of Adam Beckett, based on original research \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs of and drawings by Beckett that are not yet published or available \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCritical look at his six primary films that include insight into his techniques and process \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsight into the re-emerging visual effects field, through Beckett's work at Robert Abel and Associations and Industrial Light and Magic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe emergence of a \"golden age\" of independent animation in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA comprehensive biography of Adam Beckett, based on original research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhotographs of and drawings by Beckett that are not yet published or available\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCritical look at his six primary films that include insight into his techniques and process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInsight into the re-emergin visual effects field, through Beckett's work at Robert Abel and Associations and Industrial Light and Magic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe emergence of a \"golden age\" of independent animation in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Taylor Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815382006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815382003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Pamela Taylor Turner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120327192831,"sku":"9780815382003","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e2c6f20-a28f-48a1-848b-b23320693884.jpg?v=1687413733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/infinite-animation-pamela-taylor-turner-9780815382003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
