 Gate Haven - Hall of Obscurity - Assorted Tidbits - The Making of Paradise Lost

I know you're just dying to learn how the Paradise Lost Immortality Worm was brought to the screen. We all are! And now you can, thanks to Sliders effects producer David Lombardi's videotape, Organic Modeling & Animation with Lightwave3D. As a special bonus, after recreating the mutant nemertean from scratch, he guides us through the construction of Dinoslide's T-Rex.

And if that's not enough, he keeps Rickman's vortex going behind his chair the whole time! NOW how much would you pay?

You can read an entertaining review of the video here, and you can order the actual tape from the publisher. Just don't expect any hilarious anecdotes about Peckinpah -- it is geared to the 3D animation market.
