How to Make a Monster
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on December 8th, 2005
How to make a Monster the art & technology of animatronics, now running through March 5, 2006 at the Australian Museum in Sydney, will "reveal the methods involved in bringing creatures to life for the movie screen and how these methods relate to museum displays."
You can learn how John Cox’s Creature Workshop creatures visual effects for movies, how monsters are sometimes based on real animals, sculpting, fur blending and animatronics. Pretty much all of the gadgetry of prodicing movie creatures.

Thanks to Ruby Lang of Strange Nation for the heads up down under for this one…
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Could be based on a bipedal salamander, or a monster movie.
