Ray Harryhausen:Special Effects Titan (2012)

For a fan of the movies Ray Harryhausen is a legend, after watching "King Kong" as a child he fell in love with the idea of 'stop motion' and the ability to create creaures from your imagination, fable or folklore and bring them to life!


This is exactally what Ray did for three decades, and this wonderful documentary tells that story."Jason And The Argonauts", "The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad", "Clash Of The Titans", "Valley Of Gwangi", these were the movies I grew up watching on the TV and in the cinema, and they are the films that inspired a host of film legends, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, our very own Nick Park, saw the amazing creatures that Ray brought to the screens and were inspired by his creative visions of wonderful alien worlds and creatures taking on mankind!


Director, model maker, artist, visionary, all round nice guy.
Legend.
