RIP Stan Winston :(

For several films I have seen the tag line (either on a poster or the DVD case):

Creature effects by Stan Winston.

It was usually in bigger letters than the name of the director.

He set a bench mark by which all others will be measured.
 
Sad news.

To me he'll always be remembered for his work on Jurassic Park. I still very vividly recall being utterly blown away by the dinosaur effects with this amazing sense of awe.

RIP
 
Yeah a sad loss to the special effects business and the movie world in general


His work on the likes of Aliens,Terminator and Jurassic Park set benchmarks

He will be missed

R.I.P Stan
 
Sad news
Been a fan of his work for a long time, always knew the FX would be good if you saw his name attached to a film.

Thanks for all the movies Stan
RIP
 
Very sad news for his family, frienRAB and for the movie industry.

Stan was one of those people who's work was so good, you just wished they'd live forever.

Sci-fi special effects will never be the same, but at least the Terminator skeleton and everything else Stan created will live on.
 
Still can't believe it. He was one of the group of artists I used to follow in film magazines when I was young, Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, Craig Reardon and Stan. I always remember Stan's first claim to fame, the effects sequence that got the film "The Exterminator" banned in most countries and severely cut here. A quite brilliant beheading sequence that was very cleverly done. And if it wasn't for Stan, the Predator would look very different, the Terminator wouldn't have Terminated so well, the Dinosaurs in Jurrasic Park whouldn't have interacted with the cast and the careers of Woodruff and Gillis who have handled some great Aliens and Predator creations in not so great AvP and other Aliens films would never had started. The man really was a true genius and shall be missed, a lot!
