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.
