Ray Harryhausen is one of the most innovative & influential film animators in the history of the medium, responsible for such classic films as Jason & the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Clash of the Titans & One Million Years BC. A pioneer of stop-motion animation he has won countless awards, including a star on the Hollwood Walk of Fame, & inspired numerous film-makers, such as Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas & Peter Jackson. Rays story has been told in books such as An Animated Life & many of his concept drawings & models have appeared in The Art of Ray Harryhausen (both of which books were also published by Aurum). This new book reveals a wealth of fascinating artefacts relating to his films that has never been seen before, many of them recently discovered in a garage in Los Angeles. Designed in the form of a scrapbook, it provides a visual feast for Harryhausen fans. There are models from unrealized projects, such as dinosaurs from the unfinished film Evolution; prints of outtakes from various films including The Beast from 20, 000 Fathoms; early concept drawings & storyboards; colour transparencies of Ray at work; written artefacts such as letters & production budgets & a diary that details Rays first meeting with his mentor Willis O? Brien; early film treatments & script extracts; publicity posters & brochures; & much, much more. Some of the items show Rays earliest artistic endeavours such as watercolours painted when he was 15 years old & marionettes of creatures from King Kong that he made when he saw the film in 1933. Organized into themed chapters covering the different genres that Ray worked in, each film is given a brief introduction & every image has a detailed caption. In many cases images are juxtaposed to show how a creature or effect evolved or to compare a concept drawing with a still from the finished film. The result is a treasure trove of rare artefacts & material which not only offer new insights into how Ray created particular effects, but bring the worlds of his films to life in a new way & paint a fascinating visual portrait of the man himself & his creative imagination. This is a must for every Ray Harryhausen fan. ...
