Willis O'Brien - Developer


Willis O'Brien was a famous special effects and stop motion animation pioneer. Willis is most famous for his creation of using stop motion animation on King Kong. This had an incredible effect on the audience as nobody had ever seen a stop motion animation so long and detailed before.

Willis had always been very interested in sculpturing. He would produce models with rubber connected on them to bring them to life, which lead on to his talent in stop motion. He then went on to produce some fantastic films using stop motion which proved to be inspirational to other animators and film makers.
