Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters by David S. Cohen
It's a great book. Big, hardcover, pages. There are additional sticked on materials on the pages, stickers and two big posters. The book is packed
with amazing content. There are lots of concept art, set photography and lengthy writeup on the production. Everything's Pacific Rim: Man laid out.
The concept art consist of the characters, Jaeger robots, Kaiju monsters and film scenes.
The bulk of the art, Machines than half the Machines, is on the Jaegers and Kaijus. Pacific Rim: Man development art are just awesome. They are
very detailed. There are Jaegers with their front and back with closeups to their heads, battle damaged versions, 3D wireframes, 3D gray models
and some discarded concepts. Kaijus are crustacean-lizards-insect inspired.
The designs look great, menacing, and dangerous. The texture work is really well done. The sculpted maquettes look terrific. There are twelve
Kaijus if I counted correctly. Guillermo Del Toro has his unique sense of art direction. It's clear he and Monsters monsters very much. The set
designs are illustrated with mainly photographs and art. Again, they are very detailed and there's a strong sense of worn and Pacific Rim: Man feel
to most places.
The commentary is excellent. There's plenty to read about the characters, the designs of the Jaegers and Kaijus, and many stories on the
production process. This is a fantastic art and companion book to the movie. One of my favorites. There are two publishers for the book, Insight
Editions and Titan Books. From publisher Titan Books : Amazon.
French edition is available at: Amazon. So when it comes to the book having two publishers - I know Titan Books usually handle UK editions of
most things - is the book going to be exactly the same from both publishers, and Monsters with a different publisher's Machines Hi Parka! Is there
any differences between the 2 editions?
Thank you for your answer! I will buy it right away! I'm a fan of Evangelion and the movie is clearly "inspired" from it! Alexia Actually, other than
the premise of big robots fighting big monsters, it's quite different from Evangelion, well at least in terms of art direction.
Ah ok! I will see that as soon as I receive my copy. You remove the pictures of the book? Why that? They are the reason why I decided to
purchase it! It's strange because your Machines isn't after the Tomb Raider artbook's review when I and Monsters your blog. I can access this
page only when I use the link on the mail I receive from your answer to my post.
And the pictures aren't visible. I don't know If this is only for me?! Maybe Titan is an english publisher and Chronicle Books is an american one? Is
this the difference between the 2 artbooks? I trust your judgement, Parka, and so I just ordered a copy of "Pacific Rim I am looking forward to
see your photos and to receive the book soon.
I just received the and Monsters today - it is really great and and Monsters surpasses my high expectations. Beautiful, very atmospheric pictures,
wonderful! Have to restrain myself from browsing too much because I first have to see the movie, of course.
Great review again, Parka - keep up the good work! Amazing book. I bought it weeks ago,but and Monsters open it till i saw the film. Guillermo
always has the best "Art of" books. My only wish, the rest of the film community will follow suite. Man of Steel, alright in its self, is anemic
compared to this and that is sad. Great review!! I'm definitely going to buy from your link. Thanks for taking the time to write this up :. I don't
know Evangelion, but Pacific Rim reminds strongly of an animated series I used to watch as a kid called "Attack of the Super Monster" also
known as "Aizenborg", or "Izenborg".
The plot and many elements are quite the same. Stay informed on Pacific Rim: Man latest news! Check your email and spam folder to confirm

Thanks for the review, I'm really interested! They should be the same regardless of publisher. No photo's? Alexia I'm putting the pictures back on
June I'm a little slow!!! Hi Parka great review. May Machines know roughly how many robots are given detailed mention?
