The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road

I've received a few request for the review of this artbook and now it's finally here. The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road is a huge 176-page hardcover artbook that measures 16 inches diagonally across. This book features the art and making of the film. In terms of break down, I would say it's 50-50 art and photography. The art consists of storyboards, story scene paintings, character and vehicle design. The photography are of film stills, behind the scenes shots and those to highlight certain aspect, such as close ups on the different vehicles. The photos are fantastic also because they are really high res where you can see lots of details and well composed like film art. The artworks are beautiful with a nice textural feel to them. I'm not sure how they are created but majority is definitely not digital painting, more like pencils, pastels, and those grainy medium, and some paintings also. Some drawings actually reminded me of Moebius' art because of the level of detail rendered. So what's featured exactly? Furiosa and the wives, Immortan Joe, Coma the Doof Warrior, Miss Giddy, Nux and the many other characters. Vehicles are the highlight also and we have the War Rig, Gigahorse, Big Foot and various other pursuit vehicles. The vehicle designs are really amazing. Overall, there's this really gritty steampunk look to everything and everything seems to work well together visually. The commentary included talks about the filming process, the characters, story plot at time, vehicles, building stuff, the staging and even some nostalgia from the first few Mad Max films. It's an insightful read. This is a seriously good art book. Highly recommended. (See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

First, let me say that although this is called "The Art of Mad Max" it is so much more than just art. This is a companion book to the movie and aside from amazing stills from the film, concept art and behind the scenes images, there is a lot of info on the movie and the Mad Max world. Books like this are made for avid fans, and if you enjoyed Fury Road you're going to enjoy all the tid-bits that this book hands out.

Ordered multiple copies, arrived in fine condition, full of beautiful concept art and storyboarding.

If you also left the theater in amazement after watching Mad Max: Fury Road then I'd definetly recommend getting this! The quality of the pages is great and it is filled with information. It's amazing to read about all that went into making the movie, the story line, the dedication, and all those awesome raw action scenes! The pages are thick and good quality and aren't easily smudgeable. The photography in it is also great and seeing the storyboards from years back when the movie was just an idea is awesome. All in all a great book to have if you're not only a fan of the movie but also enjoy all the behind the scenes stuff.

Audiences are raving about "Mad Max: Fury Road". This is a great book that will serve as a nice companion to the film. This is a well-balanced book that includes a lot of imagery: early sketches, concept art, production photos, character portraits, and shots of the finished movie. The book is mainly organized by major characters and sequence. Material is presented in chronological order of how it appears in the film. Anyone who has seen "Fury Road" knows that it has a very distinct look, whether it be the complex vehicles, the unique character makeup, or the overall color palette of the film. As you might imagine, there is a lot to explore in this art book, which allows you to see the design work up close and study it. There is also text in the book which highlights some of the design challenges as well as the overall film production process. Obviously, this book is highly recommended if you are a fan of the movie and were impressed with its visual elements. What's included in the book: - A look at all the characters in the film: including Max, Furiosa, and Immortan Joe - Makeup and costumes - Designing the Citadel - Creating the Vehicles (which were built to look great but also withstand the stunt work required) - Storyboards and sketches of key sequences - On-location photography (including shooting in the deserts of Namibia, Africa) - Photographs of the props, weapons, and vehicle interiors [Note: See comments section for links to a Photo Gallery of the book & the HD unboxing video]

Cool art book for any big fans of the masterpiece!

The artwork in this book is amazing. The amount of detail will impress any fan of the franchise. It really made me appreciate the movie even more. There are so many details that you just don't see when you watch the movie. All the small decisions that go unnoticed. This book brings them to the forefront and it really made me love the movie that much more!

I love all the MadMax movies, but Fury Road had the most killer vehicles. Lots of them featured here, plus characters and storyline info. I'm sure the book could've been twice as many pages, but I'm happy for what it is. A beautiful hardcover book worthy of any fans collection. I bought mine during Prime days and saved 5 bucks, but would've paid full price either way. Oh what a lovely book!

Una excelente pieza para todos aquellos impulsados a conocer el diseño de producción, que en el caso de Mad Max Fury Road, este libro es una completa compilación de los procesos creativos: Bocetos preliminares por reconocidos artistas de comic, storyboards, primeras propuestas de diseño de TODOS LOS PERSONAJES, escenarios, TODOS LOS AUTOS Y MÁS!!!! De mi colección respecto a esta clase de libros, The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road lo tengo en primer lugar.

Clássico imediato do cinema o caos de Mad Max é lindo e brutal. O livro discorre sobre a ideia de George Miller e de parte da produção ao compor detalhes do filme. Com artes, fotografias e relatos o livro amplia a loucura que é o universo da Estada da Fúria.

Outstanding book. Amazing service. Received way earlier than expected.

As described, great condition.

A splendid book!
