He won at the 44th Academy Awards in the category of Best Visual Effects for his work on Bedknobs and Broomsticks. His win was shared with Danny Lee and Eustace Lycett.[2]
Alan was also an internationally acclaimed artist, best known and highly regarded for his sensitive interpretation of life at the turn of the century. His romantic images allow the viewer to step back in time and enjoy that more genteel era when life moved at a more leisurely pace. Stimulating activities and everyday events are beautifully interwoven with historic locales to create intriguing vignettes of people and places in absorbing and romantic scenes of the late 19th century.
