Description
From the age of thirteen Ray Harryhausen knew his future lay in special effects. Drawing inspiration from his mentor Willis O'Brien, creator of King Kong, Ray took the art and skill of stop-motion animation one step further, weaving his magic on dinosaurs, aliens and mythological creatures alike. From early experiments with animating fairy tales in his father's garage to creating groundbreaking effects for blockbuster movies, Ray Harryhausen shares the fascinating story of his "animated life". The last great animator before the introduction of CGI, he takes us through the pleasures and pitfalls of sixty years dedicated to making movie magic.
