Dinotopia creator James Gurney gives a digital slide show of the making of Dinotopia from its origins in 1988 to the most recent book, Journey to Chandara, released in 2007. He gave a similar presentation to nine art schools and five movie studios last fall. He explores the nitty-gritty of visualizing imaginary scenes realistically in traditional media. The presentation is fun, lively, and practical, covering research, thumbnail sketches, reference maquettes, perspective, dinosaur reconstruction, step-by-step sequences, plein air painting, plus a little about world-building and working as an author/illustrator.
