Format:Hardcover
This book is a very unique book in it's content in regard to Giger's work. It focuses deeply on Giger's designs and art work for all the film projects he has been involved so far. It also gives the viewer a good and rather comprehensive view from the early stages of the designs to the final result.

This is the ultimate art book on H.R. Giger's contribution to film. I found out about films that I never knew Giger was involved in. Definitely a must buy for Giger fans.H. R. Giger's Film Design

H.R. Giger studied architecture before he decided he wanted to be a full time artist. But his backround helped him in his art as you will see. Everything he draws, paint or build is perfect. And his airbrush technique is so unique, he should make a DVD on how he does it! In this book you can read how he got his ideas for movies like Poltergeist, Alien and Species. And also other foreign and unrealized movies. (I think his Dune would have brought exciting nightmares!)
