Product Information
In An Animated Life (Aurum, 2003) Ray Harryhausen told the story of his career as the acknowledged grandmaster of special effects in the pre-computer era, the creator of classics such as One Million Years BC, Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of Titans. In this new book the focus is not on the movies themselves, but on the vast hoard of artwork which Harryhausen has carefully preserved in his London home. These include preliminary sketches, elaborate drawings of key scenes and carefully plotted storyboards, all produced as he sought backing for his next venture and prepared to undertake the laborious task of animating the prehistoric creatures, aliens and mythical monsters which stole scene after scene from the human actors. There are also the tiny, elaborately articulated models which Harryhausen created to play these roles and the bronzes which he cast to preserve their forms in perpetuity. This stunning array of images is a tribute to the scope of Harryhausen's imagination and his artistic skills which no student of special effects or cinema history will want to be without.Product Identifiers

Magical Ray
I've been a fan of Ray Harryhausen's work every since I seen Jason And The Argonauts as a kid . Anything with his name attached to it I just had to see . This book is a great testament to the many wonderful creations that held me spellbound as a boy and gave me a life long fascination with fantasy and science fiction. The illustrations are fantastic, from the very early puppetry works to the sophisticated monsters of his later and best moments in movie history . A fantastic book . Where would moviedom be without this man and his ilk . An absolute treasure .
