SynopsisThis is the final volume of Jim Danforth's autobiography, It covers the years during which Jim was supplying optical effects, matte shots, miniatures, and stop-motion animation for feature films, mini series, TV shows, and television commercials. It also describes the attempts bv Jim and his wife and business associate, Karen, to raise funding for several feature films and animated puppet programs, culminating an elaborate, self-funded 'trailer' for "West of Kashmir," a 19th-century adventure film. There are also hundreds of pages of sidebars and essays that can be accessed by clicking on the labeled buttons. Sidebars include a survey of Bollywood films from 1935 to 2017, plus 'Whatever Happened to Hollywood Musicals?," and a gallery of Jim's fine-art paintings and sculptures.Those who have read Vols. 1 & 2 may notice a more philosophical approach to the essays in this volume, as befits the more mature perspective that comes with age. For example, "World Problems" tackles those things that Jim feels are wrong with our society. In addition, there is technical and historical information contained in these volumes that is not available anywhere else. Why be in the dark? Collect all three. (Volume One has sold out, but reprints are coming soon.)
