The Latest Special Effects Techniques Explained
Believe it or not, there once was a publication similar to AFN that was devoted to giving readers the most current special effects techniques used on stage and in the movies. Like a magician, most tricks were highly guarded personal secrets. Ed Bartek of Special F/X Inc. brought some of these techniques to light and explained them in a simple, jargon-free way.
Sadly, the publication only lasted 3 years and 18 issues in all. But we have them ALL, bound into a nice soft cover book. The cover price of each issue was $7.50 making this a $135.00 value.
