Product Description:


Before you can film a fantasy movie, you must create an authentic world. What kind of weather is found within, what would the buildings be made of, what creatures populate its land, and what is the history behind its people? For every stunning frame of film, there have been countless hours of work to create such majesty. And what a task to bring to the screen one of the world's most beloved children's series, C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.



This book, written and designed by the artists of the Academy-Award winning special effects house Weta Workshop, chronicles the stunning concept drawings, designs, and props that helped director Andrew Adamson shape the world of Narnia in cinematic glory. With detailed photography, hundreds of never before seen drawings and sculptures, and commentary from the artists and craftspeople of the workshop, discover the intricate work and exhaustive research and detail that went into each piece, prop, and weapon made by Weta Workshop for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This beautifully illustrated collector's edition follows the journey of ideas, from initial sketches through finished designs to final, exquisitely hand-crafted props, armor, and miniatures. Witness firsthand the intricate models for the creatures in the White Witch's army, the difference between a Boggle and a Harpy, how Mr. Tumnus evolved, how dwarves and Centaurs were armored, and much, much more.



The Crafting of Narnia provides a unique window into the movie-making experience.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2A0FB3MOO4FF The full title of the book is "The Crafting of Narnia: The Art, Creatures, and Weapons From Weta Workshop".

Weta Workshop is the Academy-Award winning special effects house that has also created the world for Lord of the Rings and King Kong. That's Middle-Earth and Skull Island. I've a book review on the World of Kong on my blog also. That book is very good.

Many books have been released in companion to the Narnia ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Art from Narnia: Prince Caspian
I loved this movie even better than the first. This book showcases some amazing artwork and CGI images that shows how the various creatures and landscapes were created. A beautiful book with tons of pictures and art.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Narnia, Weta Workshop
Great reference/inspiration for artists, some beautiful designs and color compositions. Well worth it if you are working in this genre and need some visual inspiration with a classy feel. Most are the artwork is brilliant.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Crafting Of Narnia WETA Studios book
This book is a must have for fans of Narnia. There is alot in this book which cannot be seen in the movie and wouldn't otherwise be seen except in a book of this type. From prototype art to maquettes, to fine detail on props, it can be truly appreciated in this book and brings attention to the finer work that was undertaken in the movie. It brings about even more the appreciation of characters and design.
