Ray Harryhausen

Ray Harryhausen is a traditional animator specializing in model animation.
Before CGI and computer animation was used in film, clay models were used. Harryhausen soon became one of the most prolific animators in the industry.
In his films, models could interact with other characters quite realistically for the time period.


 The models are surprisingly small from what I expected. It is interesting to compare the similarities to between Harryhausen's work with current model animation. The processes seems to be the same albiet on a much large scale.
