Notes
[edit]- ^ First issue following the new quarterly release schedule
- ^ Only "main articles" which receive a description text in the table of content are included from here on. Back covers no longer have image descriptions.
- ^ "Main articles" are now listed at the top of the table of content instead of strictly following the order of appearance. Supplementary articles now contain the featured film name in the title.
- ^ The US film release is titled "Sorcerer's Stone", the book and international release use is called "Philosopher's Stone".
- ^ The original magazine subtitle "...the journal of cinematic illusions" is dropped. The Cinefex logo now often colored to fit with the front image and the issue numbers font changes. Article titles now list the featured film first, article title second, without a summary. Front covers also no longer have descriptions, the featured film will be listed from here on instead.
- ^ A discussion of Visual Effects in television, a follow-up to a similar discussion focusing on cinema in the 100st issue.
- ^ Featuring interviews with 21 visual effects supervisors (The Illusionists) and four directors (The Visionaries)
