Mead 6021 Grassmere Corpus Christi TX 78415 SFRA Review #223, page 3 SFRA Review #223, page 4 E i in' Internal Affairs = PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE As I type this, I'm getting ready to attend the International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts; when I see it in print, I'll be (with luck) polishing a paper for SFRA's conference in Eau Claire. Both conferences should be very enjoyable and valuable. As I've said before, I love the energy of program sessions and participants bouncing off each other. Being forced to choose between overlapping presentations, suddenly realizing the worth of papers I'd expected to be padding around something else I really wanted to hear, making star­ tling connections - a good conference leaves me on the edge of overload, a clipboard full of scribbled notes for projects I'd been working on or that I'd never imagined doing until now. But we live in strange times. I wonder how long it will be until the first virtual conference, the first time one of the conferences we like to attend becomes available in an elec­ tronic package. Looking at our last issue's reviews of two ICFA collections from Greenwood Press and a desktop-puh­ lished selection of papers from a conference in Britain, it's fairly obvious that the traditional selected-papers collection is at a dead end. Even if the Greenwood collections are ap­ propriately eclectic to represent the range of subjects at an ICFA, as Gary Wolfe opines in a recent Locus, the books aren't focussed enough to attract the attention of many buyers. Consequently, Greenwood puts a very high price on them. Consequently, they sell even fewer copies. Making a more unified collection by selecting papers that reflect some com­ mon theme would be possible, just as it would be possible to organize a conference around some theme. Instead, how­ ever, why not put a whole conference on a CD? Most of the writers have their papers on disk already. True, panels and question & answer periods would have to be transcribed - or would they? I'm being semi-serious about this. One of the pleasures of editing one of those Greenwood collections was having a big pile of papers ready to read whenever I wanted; it was like having access to all the sessions at once. I wound up, of course, creating my own ideal mini-conference. However, it would have been nice to keep everything handy, ready to search SFRA Review #223, page 5 with a few key strokes... And, besides the attraction of the technological potential to preserve the products of confer­ ences, marketplace necessities may soon give us no alterna­ tive. As I say, I appreciate the advantages. I'll still miss the per­ sonal interaction. See you in Eau Claire. - Joe Sanders LETTERS/CORRECTIONS Dear Editor, In his feature review "The Many Forms of Clute" (#221), W.D. Stevens says of the second edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, that it is a book "in which Clute also has the primary editorial hand." Probably careless phrasing rather than malice, but untrue. Both the writing of text and the editorial responsibilities in this book were shared so equally that neither Clute nor I know (or care) who wrote the most words or did the most editing. I claim no primacy over Clute nor he over me, and it is wrong of Stevens to suggest otherwise. The order of the names on the cover (which we discussed between us) is merely alphabetical, and put that way round precisely so that nobody would imagine that I was claiming primacy. Alphabetical is neutral. When discussing the CD-ROM edition, Stevens very natu­ rally does not give credit to the third member of the editorial triumvirate who produced the Multimedia version. Natural, because she is not adequately credited on the disc itself. This was Deborah Bassette of Grolier, hard-working and intelli­ gent, whose responsibility was to control all the add-ons to Clute's and my text, not only sounds and pictures, but pic­ ture captions and so on. We think she did a pretty good job. Clute and I neither sought nor were given editorial control of any kind over any of the Multimedia features beyond the basic text, which is substantially updated by us from that of the book version. Best wishes, Peter Nicholls SFRA Review #223, page 6 Dear Ms. Sisson: I have just seen Lynn F. Williams's review of Dozois's The Year's Best Science Fiction (#221) in which she states that the Norton Book of Science Fiction, edited by Le Guin and Attebery, is out of print. I hope that you will be able to pub­ lish a correction in the SFRA Review since the Norton Book of Science Fiction is definitely in print, available, and selling, with plenty of copies in stock. We do think your readership is a prime market for the work and we want them to know that we will be keeping the book in print for years to come. I assumed that Professor Williams was misinformed

When completed, this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of Rebels struggling to restore freedom to the galaxy... PAN DOWN to reveal a monstrous half-completed Death Star, its massive superstructure curling away from the completed section like the arms of a giant octopus.

  • Return-Of-The-Jedi-Press-Kit2.Pdf
    www.knowitalljoe.com "THE STAR WARS SAGA ON LOCATION" Feature -2- British production designer Norman Reynolds, a double Oscar winner for STAR WARS ana RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, was given a million dollar budget to clear the valley of vegetation and construct a four acre stockade to house his 30,000 square foot platform which is topped by a sixty foot, fully-rigged, anti-gravity Sail Barge. The true significance of this set will remain a closely kept secret until RETURN OF THE JEDI opens on May 25, 1983. The JEDI crew was in the area for six months, employing more than fifty local residents ana pumping more than two million dollars into the local economy. Associate to the Producer Louis Friedman was relieved to discover that, almost without exception, "I could find anything we needed locally. I just had to look a bit longer ana harder." Assistant art director Chris Campbell concurs: "The merchants here really helped us a lot. They realized that with an operation of this size, when we ord~red a product, we needed it all-- not just a gallon or two." Some of the things they needed were two million gallons of water (drawn from the All American Canal) to continually dampen down and grade the only possible access road and sixteen thousand pounds of nails to keep the massiv~ Sail Barge structure steady. (More) "THE STAR WARS SAGA ON LOCATION" ... Featur e -3- The filming of the compl ex action and special effects sequence was completed in two weeks, exactly as planned despite daytime temper qtures of 120° and two days of intermittent sandstorms with sixty mile per hour winds which sent the one hundred twenty-five member cast and crew running for cover.

  • QUEST 1: Concept Sketching ORIGINS – Species
    ORIGINS – Species QUEST 1: Concept Sketching Teacher notes Curriculum links: Art Zone relevance: Origins Description: In this activity, your students will get a taste of what it’s like to be concept artists. They will create a scene with minimal direction – relying on their own imaginations to fill in the details. You can then compare students’ work to see what similarities and differences are present and discuss why this happens. Your students can imagine what the Star Wars movies might have looked like if they had been the concept artist. Background: Concept sketches are used throughout the film industry as a first step in visualising scenes and characters. Concept art can range from quick pencil on paper sketches to fully detailed and coloured paintings depicting scenes. The main concept artist for the original Star Wars trilogy was Ralph McQuarrie (June 13, 1929 – March 3, 2012) who designed many of the film’s characters – including Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO as well as many iconic scenes for the movies. To view McQuarrie’s art, visit his official website: www.ralphmcquarrie.com Activity: Equipment needed: • Paper • Pencils/coloured pencils/paints • Ralph McQuarrie’s painting of C-3PO and R2-D2 on Tatooine (see supporting Information sheet) Ask your students create a picture, giving them the following parameters: • It should feature two robots • It should be set on a foreign planet • There should be a mountain for the background © 2016 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All rights reserved. Used under authorization. EDUCATOR’S RESOURCE GUIDE 14 Encourage students to come up with their own mental image of the scene before they start drawing.

Interview Lorin Wood You appear to have worked across a number of areas within the film and entertainment industry but which would you say has been the most fulfilling and which has presented the greatest challenge? Well, easily the film work (the work that I can show) has been the most fulfilling creatively, primarily because that’s the industry that I’ve wanted to be part of since an early age. Film design frees up your imagination to experiment with various avenues of styles and ideas (especially if you have a large budget to work with and ample time to play around). Whereas with other branches, such as TV commercials and video games have specific needs that must be met due to time and production constraints.
