The hero stands on stage in high-definition 3-D while doubled on a
crude pixel screen in Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Alien ships
leave Earth by dissolving at the conclusion of Arrival. An illusory
death spiral in Vertigo transitions abruptly to a studio set,
jolting the spectator. These are a few of the startling visual
moments that Garrett Stewart examines in Cinemachines, a
compelling, powerful, and witty book about the cultural and
mechanical apparatuses that underlie modern cinema. Engaging in
fresh ways with revelatory special effects in the history of
cinematic storytelling--from Buster Keaton's breaching of the film
screen in Sherlock Jr. to the pixel disintegration of a remotely
projected hologram in Blade Runner 2049--Stewart's book puts
unprecedented emphasis on technique in moving image narrative.
Complicating and revising the discourse on historical screen
processes, Cinemachines will be crucial reading for anyone
interested in the evolution of the movies from a celluloid to a
digital medium.
