Keith Short
"Even hardened movie buffs may not know the connection between the sleek, sinister Batmobile in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989), the cobra that goes nose-to-nose with a terrified Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and the throne of Emperor Palpatine, with its hint of the Mastermind chair, in Return of the Jedi (1983). The figure who linked these objects is the sculptor and modeller Keith Short, who has died aged 79 from a stroke. In an era when hands rather than computers generated the spectacle on screen, he sculpted those pivotal props and many more besides."
