Shrek Forever After And Harry Potter

Actress Cameron Diaz provides the foreword to Insight Editions and author Jerry Schmitz new book about the latest Shrek movie: Shrek Forever After. Filmed in 3D, the movie follows the adventures of Shrek when he is plunged into an alternate reality after making a wish for a more adventurous life that is manipulated by the nefarious Rumpelstiltskin.


In the new reality Ogres are hunted, Shrek never had a family and his friends don’t know who he is. It’s up to Shrek to set things right while convincing his former family and friends that things should be different.


The new book looks at the complete production of the film from sketches, production drawings, computer rendering, voice cast selection, final computer renderings, color and costume tests, background selections and everything else associated with pre and post productions.


It’s a complete examination in pictures and text of how a computer animated movie is made from early concepts sketches to the final film print.


Bruce Foster engineers the paper, art is provided by Andrew Williamson and text is written by Lucy Kee in Insight Editions’ Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Book based on the film phenomenon.


This full-color book comes with five pop-up pages: Diagon Alley, Hogwarts School, Magical Creatures, Magical Games And Sports and The Dark Arts. Each double page spread features clever pop-up images and several small pop-up panel inserts centered on each theme.


A marvel of miniature manipulation, the book is an ingenious blend of a tried and tested artistic form updated and augmented for a whole new generation of pop-up book fans.


Filled with fanciful art, informative text and clever fold-outs the book also includes several insert pieces such as a poster and more. It’s pure magic!
