Joe Alves (born 21 May 1936, San Leandro, California) is an American film production designer, perhaps best known for his work on three of the ''Jaws'' films. He directed ''Jaws 3-D. Alves has designed three features for Steven Spielberg, firstly for ''The Sugarland Express''. He designed the three mechanical sharks for the movie ''Jaws'' (1975) with mechanical effects man Bob Mattey supervising their physical construction in Sun Valley CA. After the sharks were completed, they were trucked to the shooting location, but unfortunately they had not been tested in water causing a series of delays that have become quite legendary over time.〔 ''Spotlight on Location: The Making of Jaws'', ''Jaws'' 30th Anniversary DVD documentary, ()〕 He was nominated for the Academy Award and won the BAFTA for Best Art Direction for his work on ''Close Encounters of the Third Kind''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Yahoo Movies ) 〕 Alves worked on ''Jaws 2'' (1978) in the capacity of both production designer and as second unit director. After John D. Hancock, the initial director of ''Jaws 2'', was sacked, it was suggested that Alves co-direct it with Verna Fields (who edited the original ''Jaws''). Jeannot Szwarc was hired, however, to complete the film.〔Loynd, Ray (1978) ''The Jaws 2 Log''. London: W.H. Allen. ISBN 0-426-18868-3 pg74〕 The model of New York he created for John Carpenter's ''Escape from New York'' (1981) has been described as "memorably derelict",〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Dread Central )〕 and he was visual consultant on Carpenter's ''Starman'' (1984).〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Yahoo Movies )〕 He directed ''Jaws 3-D'' (1983), which took advantage of the revival in popularity of 3-D at the time. The film received generally weak critical reception, with ''Variety'' criticising Alves for failing "to linger long enough on the Great White." He was nominated as 'worst director' in the 1983 Golden Raspberry Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Razzies.com )〕 ''Jaws 3-D'' was his only film as director. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe Alves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
