The spice must flow! See the last post for more details on the process for this one! We did a lot of visual research for the 1984 David Lynch masterpiece and I was surprised by just how many of the models and miniatures that they painstakingly designed are only on the screen for like 2 seconds.

You never see the back of the big Harkonnen frigate, for instance.

And we never get a good look at the ornithopters .

Right then. Back out into the desert for me!

The guy in the photo is Emilio Ruiz, known as "the magician". He was responsible for most of the visual effects and miniatures in DUNE. I've seen him in Spain a couple of times, even with Ray Harryhausen both toghether in an animation event. His works are pure magic in a world without CGI. I totally recomend the documentary "The last trick", where he talks about his productions, low and high budget, including Conan and Dune... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLnufK4nHWY
