The Animation of Ray Harryhausen
Larry Mantle speaks with Ray Harryhausen, one of film’s greatest stop-motion animators. Inspired by early movies like King Kong, he began with a 16 millimeter camera and hand-made clay dinosaurs. Harryhausen went on to create the special effects in numerous films, including “Jason and the Argonauts” (1963) and the Sinbad films with creatures like the famous Cyclops.
