Art of the Legacy Effects Exhibit

Hollywood’s Gnomon Gallery hosted a small exhibit on The Art of Legacy Effects, with an opening reception on May 28th, 2011 from 7pm-11pm. The Gnomo Gallery is located on 1015 N. Cahuenga Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90038. There is an inside look at the work of the talented artists from Legacy Effects, including Scott Patton, Ian Joyner and Simon Webber. Legacy Effects is an award-winning character design, makeup, specialty prop and animatronic studio. They are a very experienced in visual effects. The exhibit featured large scaled images, maquettes and previously unseen props from movies. Some of the films featured were: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Avatar, Iron Man, Thor, I Am Number Four, Cowboys and Aliens, The Avengers, and John Carter of Mars. 


Upon entrance, guests were greeted and served with Charles Shaw white or red wine, beer, soda, or water. There were choices of appetizers such as fruit platters and a cheese platters. Disappointingly, the exhibit was quite small. One could view the entire exhibit in less than 15minutes. As an attendee of the opening reception, I was really excited but the excitement deteriorated after realizing how small the space was. I was hoping for a more expansive exhibit with a lot more to see. However, I did captured photos of pretty much all of the work that was present at the exhibit.
