Practical effects & craft Analysis

Coverage noteThis desk describes technique and industry news, not plot, and treats on-screen effects as craft, not spectacle. When a story does need to discuss plot specifics, the standfirst says so before you scroll further.
A new documentary built from Steve Johnson's own two-book memoir series follows the effects artist behind Slimer, the Abyss creatures and Doc Ock's arms — described by Bloody Disgusting as candid about failure as much as the highlight reel.
