Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] list

what this page needs is a list of films that featured creatures by JHCS. ReverendG 00:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Hollywood movie studios

To the anonymous user who has twice added the category "Hollywood movie studios": Please stop. The Creature Shop does not produce movies. Therefore, they are not a movie studio. —tregoweth 06:46, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Half of what the creature shop does is missing!

I think it would be useful for someone to mention the other half of the company ie the Computer Graphics department. Over the last 7 years this has grown imensely and they have worked on many films: basically visual effects but also real time performance controled animation.

Also It would be nice to mention their work on Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy which was probably their best work to date.

And one more thing....unfortunately the London branch is closing its doors very shortly.

If I have some time I might write some stuff....I'm still working here for a few more weeks.

[edit] Location

To say Camden Town is misleading. While it was in the London Borough of Camden, this is not Camden Town. I did work experience for the Creature Shop in 1988 and it was located on Downshire Hill, roughly equidistant between Hampstead tube station and Belsize Park tube station. I would say the location was Hampstead.
