I first saw his work in the movie Jason And The Argonauts… his fighting skeletons looked so real to me when I was a kid- spooked me pretty good. He’s been working since the 70s and is still going strong today. From Wikipedia: “After having seen King Kong for the first of many times in 1933, Harryhausen spent his early years experimenting in the production of animated shorts, inspired by the burgeoning science fiction literary genre of the period. After viewing Harryhausen’s first formal demo reel of fighting dinosaurs from an abortive project called Evolution (an homage to a similar Willis O’Brien project called Creation[citation needed]), Paramount executives gave him his first job, on George Pál’s Puppetoons shorts.”
This may look cheesy to you, or it may bring back some great memories. Enjoy!
