I have to admit that it was Talos that scared me most as a kid. I remember seeing Jason And The Argonauts on the big screen, so when Talos turned his head to look towards the sailors, that dead expression, no eyes, I’m sure I peed my pants, at least a bit. I still get that feeling when I see it today. It shows that everything doesn’t have to be a jump scare to be frightening. That’s something most modern directors could learn from. I love stop motion animation. The movements are somewhat real, but also a bit unnatural, which is why they seem surreal and magical. I think those creatures are far more chilling when they move that way. The lack of motion blur is what gives them that unnatural feel, but I don’t think those skeletons and creatures would have been as frightening without that shaky movement. I never got to see Kong on the big screen, but it had to be terrorizing when he first breaks through those trees to face Ann. These films must always be preserved because they are a time in film making we will never see again, which is too bad. Ray Harryhausen was the master of this craft, there will never be another like him.

Harryhausen's Skeleton were very influential on pop culture. - Skeleton soldiers in Dungeons and Dragons. - Skeleton soldiers and the arcade game Golden Axe. - Skeleton soldiers in the tabletop game Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Particularly the 1980's plastic ones. - Skeleton soldiers in the movie: Evil Dead Army of Darkness. Not just because they are skeletons. Even the shields and curved swords are often the same.

In my childhood days, a few of those kind of films were still exhibited on tv from time to time, and I found those effects magical for some reason I can't explain, and I still find them to be. They didn't look any realistic in comparison to other films with creatures, but somehow i enjoyed them. I can remember Clash of Titans, Jason and the Argonauts, and three or four of those Sinbad movies.

Janet Stevens also sculpted for Mr. Harryhausen doing several creatures for the last two Sinbad films as well as sculpting the Kraken on Clash for him from his designs, under his supervision.

@@gregpoore2757 : Love the Kali scene myself as well (one of Mr. Harryhausen's best animated sequences), but like you Greg, I always loved the *Mysterious Island* Bees too! That scene doesn't get the love from the fans and the critics that it deserves. I even heard one reviewer say that most of the creature scenes in *Mysterious Island* (and that one in particular) are just "in there" for the creature's sakes and don't do anything to advance the story. In my book, that couldn't be any further from the truth than if he said, "Red is Green". This is especially true in the case of the Bees. If not for them, Herbert and Elena would not have discovered the Nautilus and the presence of Captain Nemo on the Island. It's even a more remarkable animation sequence when you consider that Ray Harryhausen only built one Bee model (for budgetary reasons). He had to overlay one animated Bee right after another via split screen photography for those shots of two or three Bees at a time. It takes a ton of preplanning to do that sort of thing and Ray H. did it so brilliantly. Much more complicated to pull that kind of visual effect off imperceptibly back when he did it than it is these days. And... most people don't know about that "only one Bee model" fun fact, as it was done so well. When I was a kid, I thought they just shot and photographically enlarged real bees, some how managing to make them look better than other movies that tried to do the same sort of thing by attempting to make grasshoppers, spiders and lizards look like gigantic creatures. Now knowing just how difficult it must have been to do in StopMotion/Stop Frame photography, I can really appreciate the effort it would have taken for him to accomplish this. As difficult as it was when he animated the seven Skeletons in *Jason* or the three Ghouls in *Eye of the Tiger*, at least he had them all there to work with in those particular shots, where two or more were present in the frame. Maybe he was able to afford building the extra models in those films because the movies they released directly before were big hits (meaning *Mysterious Island* and *Golden Voyage*). With successes like that, you can justify having to spend a little more money for this and that on the next film.

Besides the bee's leading to the discovery of the Nautilus, ( which is a beautifully shot scene by the way!) is Nemos search for an answer to starvation. Why wouldn't there be giant bees too? Ha! Besides the creatures even the escape in the balloon scene looks great. I used to have a book called "A Ray Harryhausen Scrapbook" and there were many behind the scene photographs. One of my favorites was Ray with his miniaturized prison grounds set and the balloon. Add it all up with Bernard Hermann's great score and Mysterious Island is one of the best.

There is a short animation film made in St Albans, England about 1895, "The war of the Toys" which is amazing in that it shows maybe a hundred toys all fighting one another in one camera shot. I can only guess at the number, but keeping them all moving simultaneously was an incredible feat. Especially at that time. The only version of it I know is in the Hertfordshire film library.

I saw Ray speak at an art college in Detroit, I think it was in like 2002 or 3. The room was filled with animation students. He was so nice. Even though he was already over 80 years old, he answered all of their questions and stayed as long as there were still kids asking them. He never said, well I have to go now. He was just really happy to talk about his work and pass along knowledge to people that wanted to learn. Aside from being an animation genius, he was a great human being.

Well done once again, guys! Your passion for Harryhausen is undeniable! If I was to think of another stop-motion artist whose work I love, I'd have to go with Phil Tippett. He took what Harryhausen and O'Brien did and learned from it, creating the process of go-motion (stop-motion with motion blur). From the Tauntauns and AT-ATs in Empire Strikes Back to Vermithrax Pejorative in Dragonslayer, to the AT-STs in Return of the Jedi, to ED-209 in Robocop, he showed the same love for the craft as his predecessors. It should also be noted that he was going to use go-motion for Jurassic Park before it was decided that CGI would be used. But he stayed on to help the filmmakers better realize the dinosaur scenes. He even helped the filmmakers come up with the dinosaur movements using real animals as an inspiration.

@scottgamble7767 4 жыл бұрын

Totally agree with you Lindsey. And for the record... lest anyone is confused who may read this and might not know... Ray Harryhausen did NOT do "claymation". That was a term first used (and actually trademarked, I believe) by the late Will Vinton, who like Aardman and Nick Park after him, animated figures made from plasticine clay. Vinton was far from the first to do this, but he coined the name. Ray's process was "Dynamation"! Mr. Harryhausen began fabricating his creatures in the time honored tradition of Marcel Delgado (Google him, for those who don't know who Marcel was) which was a fabrication technique that was fairly laborious. Several films into his pro career, on the production of THE ANIMAL WORLD where Ray animated dinosaurs for Willis O'Brien and director Irwin Allen, he learned a quicker technique of making rubber figures from the guys at the Warner Bros. lab. First, the final creature designs were sculpted in an oil based clay to define their shape in 3 dimensions, but then they were molded (or "moulded", for you folks in the UK) in a kind of extra hard setting plaster, these days known as Gypsum Cement. The clay was thrown away after demolding, as it would have gotten all messy in the process and the final animation figures were then cast from these molds in foam latex, over machined metal, ball & socket armatures. None of Ray's feature films were what one would call "claymation", since all of his animation puppets (or "models" as he preferred to call them) were essentially made out of one form of rubber or another on these machined jointed, posable metal skeletons... and not wire... as some have claimed. Wire armatures are a more common thing used by KZfaqr animators today (for expense reasons), though some of Harryhausen's smaller figures did have wire fingers and such due to their size. However, most of his animation models had skeletons that were machine shop made custom joints from head to toe - with some pivot points here and there - but largly ball and socketed joints, which yielded the best animation results for him. www.stopmotionworks.com/images2/RH_3_2011B.jpg www.heavymetal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ray-harryhausen-national-gallery-scotland-exhibit-6-940x1024.jpg I expect you already know this Lindsey, so this is for those who get these things confused or may have been misinformed. Often I am amazed that some supposed "experts" that speak about Mr. Harryhausen's work (on TV programs and such) get it completely wrong and call what he did "claymation". In most cases, his originals were first sculpted in an oil based clay (probably something like "Roma" plastilina)... cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1744/3435/products/greaygreen2_1024x1024.jpg?v=1575403250 ...but the final sculpt was not used in it's clay form, as is the case for "claymation". Ray's end product was always "fleshed" in rubber, with the only exception being the molded and carved casting plaster replacement heads he used in his early Mother Goose /fairytale shorts. Mr. Harryhausen's work is my personal favorite in the world of StopMotion animation (also Jim Danforth and David Allen), but Will Vinton's clay animation is a thing unto itself... and is really cool as well. If you are interested in seeing some old school, but really well done... actual clay animation... look up the work Will Vinton here on KZfaq. There is a lot of it posted. My favorites of the work he and his crew ever did was created for THE ADVENTURES OF MARK TWAIN (1985) and their SPFX "gnome" rock creatures in Disney's RETURN TO OZ (also released in 1985) for director Walter Murch. "Creepiest scene from any kid's movie - Adventures of Mark Twain" on KZfaq ☞ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNqWaMKmypiwqqs.html [7:44] This next Vinton clip is really short, but all of the other clips featuring his crew's work for RETURN TO OZ on KZfaq is filled with "spoilers". It's a GREAT film, so I don't want to ruin it for you if you haven't seen it. Better to look up the whole movie, which IS out there. The following is not the best representative clip for for the show, but this is a taste...

Fact check police: Not meaning to be annoying B. Pond, but the original Schneer/Harryhausen "Clash of the Titans" was released in 1981 not '84. I whole heartedly agree with your assesment though. Even the newer reboot's star said that his movie was terrible... sometime after the release went cold. A personal comment: I always thought their intentional dis of Bubo in that film was particularly insulting. Exclude him from it if you must, but don't present him (depicted exactly as Ray Harryhausen had designed him) and then toss him away as worthless, as they did in their reboot. Shameful ; a slap in the face. Interestingly enough, they still managed to reuse many of RH's designs that were original, even though they apparently had distain for the his movie. Medusa never looked like she did in 1981 in any version of myths. However, that original design by Mr. Harryhausen is now accepted by the masses as the way Medusa should look. That Gorgon design was Ray trying to make her more cinematic than the original myth... and at the same time, not retread ground already broken by Hammer's "The Gorgon", who previously presented Medusa as she was more classically and traditionally envisioned. In addition, scorpions and other foul things were reported in the original myth to have sprung from Medusa's blood, but nowhere was there ever a battle with Cadillac sized scorpions in any of the versions of that ancient story. That was pure Harryhausen magic. The new reboot managed to heist both of those designs and reuse them badly to boot. What purpose did the scorpions serve there being the size of 18 wheel trucks? The characters in their reimagining even rode them around for Heaven's sake! That is definately NOT aligned with the point of the fabled tale.

Screenwriter Bev Cross deviated all over the place in his retelling of the Perseus Myth. His intent was to pull it all together and make a good screenplay of it, which I think he did. These two scenes you speak of, however, are taken right out of the original Greek myths. The one with the godesses is speculation of course, but the info is factual to the original mythical tales... and probably more so than the rest of the movie, as presented.

I first saw Sinbad and The Eye Of The Tiger years ago when my mother and I visited my grandmother who was sick(she was able to recover on a happy note). I even made a little cut out of Trog after we left the hospital(gonna be honest the cutout was terrible but I still cherished it from how fond I was of Trog). The Ymir I felt bad for, it wasn't out to be evil or kill it was just a normal animal just wanting to be left alone in peace and be like all the other animals. The Cyclops I can sympathize with, he was also just trying to live his own life and had a natural fear of fighting the Dragon(Taros).
