Stan Winston had too a famous “son”, and this time we are talking about “Terminator”.
He did not create anything new in special effects techniques, but anyway was considered as one of the best technicians in his specialty.
To prove it, we could say that when Steven Spielberg was about to film “Jurassic park” he had thought to hire Winston to build “all” the dinosaurs, life size and working (as also Carlo Rambaldi would have done). It was a real huge task, which was then reduced by use of computer graphics (anyway Winston built some “real” dinosaurs for some shots where they would have been more convincing than digital ones). This can give an idea of Stan Winston’s high reputation in science fiction cinema’s world.
