| 5 | Rob Bottin is a special effects artist who began his career at age 14 after sending a letter to his idol Creator/RickBaker who was impressed by his drawing and molding skills. He eventually formed his own company, Rob Bottin Studio, but then he abruptly retired in 2002 when he just wasn't getting work in the horror and action films he desired, due to the film industry's increasing reliance on CGI over practical effects. |
