The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road

Una excelente pieza para todos aquellos impulsados a conocer el diseño de producción, que en el caso de Mad Max Fury Road, este libro es una completa compilación de los procesos creativos: Bocetos preliminares por reconocidos artistas de comic, storyboards, primeras propuestas de diseño de TODOS LOS PERSONAJES, escenarios, TODOS LOS AUTOS Y MÁS!!!! De mi colección respecto a esta clase de libros, The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road lo tengo en primer lugar.

Beautiful depiction of what went into making this movie. The cover alone is something that I can't stop staring at/running my hand across (embossed lettering). It makes me wish that this kind of high quality " the making of" was around when they made the original movies. A must for any Mad Max fan, this will definitely be a valuable collectable in the years to come.

I've received a few request for the review of this artbook and now it's finally here. The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road is a huge 176-page hardcover artbook that measures 16 inches diagonally across. This book features the art and making of the film. In terms of break down, I would say it's 50-50 art and photography. The art consists of storyboards, story scene paintings, character and vehicle design. The photography are of film stills, behind the scenes shots and those to highlight certain aspect, such as close ups on the different vehicles. The photos are fantastic also because they are really high res where you can see lots of details and well composed like film art. The artworks are beautiful with a nice textural feel to them. I'm not sure how they are created but majority is definitely not digital painting, more like pencils, pastels, and those grainy medium, and some paintings also. Some drawings actually reminded me of Moebius' art because of the level of detail rendered. So what's featured exactly? Furiosa and the wives, Immortan Joe, Coma the Doof Warrior, Miss Giddy, Nux and the many other characters. Vehicles are the highlight also and we have the War Rig, Gigahorse, Big Foot and various other pursuit vehicles. The vehicle designs are really amazing. Overall, there's this really gritty steampunk look to everything and everything seems to work well together visually. The commentary included talks about the filming process, the characters, story plot at time, vehicles, building stuff, the staging and even some nostalgia from the first few Mad Max films. It's an insightful read. This is a seriously good art book. Highly recommended. (See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

Clássico imediato do cinema o caos de Mad Max é lindo e brutal. O livro discorre sobre a ideia de George Miller e de parte da produção ao compor detalhes do filme. Com artes, fotografias e relatos o livro amplia a loucura que é o universo da Estada da Fúria.

Outstanding book. Amazing service. Received way earlier than expected.
