Ray Harryhausen's animated creatures sparkled with predatory
alertness and subtle quirks of behavior that stamped each with a
distinct and memorable personality. His use of stop-motion
animation--a method of animating movable models and
puppets--brought dinosaurs and monsters to life on the silver
screen. Many animators and special effects wizards, like Phil
Tippett of Jurassic Park and Jim Aupperle of Planet of Dinosaurs
who are still working on prehistoric-based films, openly credit Ray
Harryhausen as having influenced their careers. His films are
famous for being among the very best of the genre. The first
chapter of this book chronicles Harryhausen's formative years and
work on numerous 16mm experiments, beginning with his viewing of
King Kong in 1933. The next four chapters cover his four
feature-length dinosaur films, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, The
Animal World, One Million Years B.C. and The Valley of Gwangi.
These chapters provide extensive information about all aspects of
the staging of their stop-motion content and many additional facets
of the overall production process. The paleontological accuracy of
his saurians from a modern perspective is also examined. A chapter
on his work and experiences in the 1970s and beyond discusses
potential dinosaur projects, as well as The Golden Voyage of
Sinbad, which is not a saurian film, but does include the
bat-winged homunculus.
