The first steps of Kit West in the movie business, working in the Effects House of Les Bowie. This decade is characterized through the wonderful apprenticeship with Les Bowie, the doyen of Special Effects in England in this time period. But over time, he could also work for several international productions ('Battle of the Bulge') and became a recognized Special Effects Supervisor at the end of this decade. Kit was the Special Effects Supervisor for the excellent Andre de Toth War movie 'Play Dirty', with an outstanding Michael Caine in the lead role. The movie was filmed in Almeria (Spain), a real metropolis for film makers from all over the world in the 60s. The right place for a versatile young Special Effects Supervisor. |
