Tells the very personal story of the man who changed the face of
modern cinema Special-effects superstar Ray Harryhausen elevated
stop-motion animation to an art during the 1950s to 1980s. With
material drawn from his incredible archive, his daughter, Vanessa,
selects 100 creatures and objects, in chronological order, that
meant the most to her as she watched her father make world-famous
films that changed the course of cinema. Ray Harryhausen's work
included the Sinbad films of the 50s and 70s, One Million Years
B.C. and Mighty Joe Young, as well as a wider portfolio including
children's fairy tales and commercials. He inspired a generation of
film-makers such as Peter Jackson, Aardman Animation, Tim Burton,
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and his influence on blockbuster
cinema can be felt to this day. Some of the objects featured in the
book, such as Talos from Jason and the Argonauts, are world famous,
while others are less well known but hold special personal
significance to Vanessa. Many newly restored works that have never
previously been seen are included. This book is published in
collaboration with the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation and it
will receive a great deal of international publicity. It celebrates
the legacy of a filmmaker who changed the face of modern cinema and
it is certain to delight and fascinate those who appreciate film,
art, science fiction and fantasy. Shortlisted for Saltire Society
Scotland's National Book Awards, First Book Award 2021. Scotland's
National Book Awards recognise work across Scotland's literary and
publishing community. [The Saltire Society] is delighted to
highlight Scotland's outstanding talent, raise the profile of
writers and introduce audiences to exceptional new works.
