Early life

[edit]

Neville was born in England,[2] and grew up inManchester, England.[1] He was later raised inChicago, Illinois.[2] He grew up around artistic influences; his parents worked as performers in thecircus.[3] From an early age he was motivated to pursue a career in science fiction due to his appreciation forStar Wars.[3] Page was inspired bymakeup artistRick Baker and his film work, includingAn American Werewolf in London.[2]

At the age of 17, Page moved to Hollywood to further employment in acting.[2] He gained minor roles on soap operas, includingGeneral Hospital.[3] He took coursework at theArt Center College of Design, and in 1989 for a class on product-design he created a machine apparatus similar to that used by the character portrayed bySigourney Weaver in the filmAliens.[1] He received his degree inindustrial design from that institution with honors in 1990.[2][3] Following his graduation, Page instructed students at theSwitzerland location of the Art Center College of Design.[2] Along with his studio partner Scott Robertson, he began work in the field of design consulting.[3]

Career

Neville instructs students at theGnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood, in addition to the Art Center College of Design, inPasadena, California.[4]

He has worked as a concept designer on films, includingWatchmen,Star Trek,TRON: Legacy,Cloverfield, andAvatar.[4]Cloverfield directorMatt Reeves noted they hired Page to design the "creature" that appears in the film, commenting, "We would go into his office and he would have what I affectionately referred to as his 'Wall of Terror.' On the wall were all sorts of bits of color, and as you got closer suddenly your interest turned to revulsion because those pictures were like pictures of intestines and eyeballs and pieces of animals. What he was doing was having a biological, evolutionary basis for every aspect of the creature."[5]

From July through August 2010, the Oceanside Museum of Art held an exhibition on Page.[6] Titled: "From Page to Screen: Character and Creature Design of Neville Page", featuring works by Page, includingpencil drawings,three-dimensional models, and digital creations.[7] Page said he hoped the exhibit would educate the public about a different facet to filmmaking, "The general public tends to associate films with actors versus people who conceive and design and make the films. What is on display is one small facet of what it takes to make a movie, one of the many gears involved in the mechanism, neither more important nor less ... simply as important."[8]

Neville has served as a judge on theSyFy television seriesFace Off.[9] He joined the judging panel onFace Off inseason three, which launched in August 2012.[10][11] His fellow judges includedVe Neill andGlenn Hetrick.[12] Page returned for thefourth season in 2013.[13] In October 2012, Page returned to theOceanside Museum of Art, with an exhibition titled, "The Beauty in the Beast: Crafting Creatures by Neville Page".[14] The exhibit which ran for ten weeks featured 45 works by Page from films, includingGreen Lantern,Prometheus, andTRON: Legacy.[14] He was the creature designer for the 2013 American science fictionaction filmStar Trek Into Darkness.[15]

Reception

[edit]

In the 2011 bookStar Wars vs. Star Trek: Could the Empire Kick the Federation's Ass? And Other Galaxy-Shaking Enigmas, authorMatt Forbeck characterized Neville Page as a "creature guru".[16]Cloverfield directorMatt Reeves spoke highly of his work with Page, "... he is a genius."[5] Reeves characterized Page's work on the "creature" in the film, "It developed in many different ways, and it came down to what Neville was doing, which was amazing."[5]

TheNorth County Times referred to him observing, "Page is one of the most recognizable artists in the entertainment industry for his iconic designs."[6] Director of exhibitions and collections at theOceanside Museum of Art, Teri Sowell, reflected of the exhibition featuring Page's work toThe San Diego Union-Tribune, "These creatures are so embedded in our minds, we take them for granted. It's really handcrafted art."[8] Film directorJ. J. Abrams commented on Page's work on his filmSuper 8, "the designer of the creature, Neville Page, did an amazing job and I think he gave us something that took a ton of iterations but he really nailed it".[17]
