A thorough and detailed look into the production of the “Jurassic Park” sequel that marked Steven Spielberg’s return to directing after a three-year hiatus, this is an excellent read. Breaking the process down over 11 chapters (though the last is a good interview with Spielberg), we follow this from the very start - a brainstorming session at Dive! restaurant - through pre-production (a lot of focus on the script, Stan Winston Studios and location scouting), production (with plenty of on-set anecdotes) and then post. Duncan does a superb job - clear writing and obviously very knowledgable about her subject - and the only fault I could find is that I wanted it to be longer. Unfortunately for me (I love visual effects), this does suffer with the now-common ailment of ‘post production wizardry’ featuring clearly staged pictures of people sitting around staring at computer monitors. There are some nice shots of the model unit, led by Lorne Peterson, but too many of the computer animators doing stuff that just doesn’t translate into a picture. Well designed and brim full of design illustrations and on-set photographs, this is how “making of” books should be done and I very highly recommend it.

Really enjoyed this book, was handy research for my degree. A must have for any film fan.Only problem with my copy was a blank page about halfway through!But a full page copy would be worth buying.
