BOOK EDITING

The 2004 film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow embraced the look and feel of the old serials even as it pushed the boundaries of modern filmmaking. The movie inspired a generation of creators eager to adopt its innovative techniques, which are now Hollywood standards. Production Designer Kevin Conran sought to document the visual design process of the film as it grew from independent short film to Hollywood tentpole release. Conran was the chief visual architect of the movie, working hand-in-hand with director (and his brother) Kerry Conran.

I served as creative consultant and an editor of the book, working closely with author Kevin Conran. It’s available in both standard and deluxe editions.
