Ray Harryhausen
is one of the most successful stop motion animators in history. Many things
inspired him from a young age such as king kong by Willis O'Brien and visits to
the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
Once he owned a
camera he created stop motion animation films and took his interest in this
subject further and studied photography and editing at university. Through doing
this, he came up with the idea of creating a film. However his first idea was a
flop as his idea on a film about an unusual creature, was unrecognised. His second
attempt consisted of dinosaurs as one of the main aspects, which happened to be
good quality although it was filmed in a garage. Stop motion animation pioneer George
pal, recognised Rays work and hired him to create puppetoons.
From then on,
Ray Harryhausen worked on a number of films. He created films which have been
recreated today. This shows that his work has inspired and developed ideas into
the modern world.
