Yes a lesson for us all, do not drink a big soda before the movie starts!! I have a BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS and THEM! dvd and it was interesting to compare the two! Both have monsters unleashed due to atomic bomb testing and an old scientist who is fasinated with the creatures! While one might say that BEAST is better because the Harryhausen dinosaur is more lifelike then the Ants, THEM! has great suspense and plays on the imagination! So I say they both work great in their storytelling!
Amazing how this video matches my own Harryhausen experience. I always loved O'Brian's King Kong on television. I saw 7th Voyage of Sinbad at a drive-in movie. It must have been the same 1975 re-release. I remember my dad asking how they were able to fit a man in that Cyclops suite. I was hooked to Harryhausen after that. I still have a Super 8 reel of the opening cyclops sequence in black & white and silent with subtitles. I studied it frame by frame. Still doing animation today.
I bought all of Harryhausen's films on VHS when I became a parent and showed them to my kids. They were just as amazed and enchanted as we had been when we saw them on afternoon TV...
great take on the FX Master! I too was smitten with his animation at age 4, only I saw "One Million Years BC" and I was already a dinosaur fanatic. It wasnt til years later about 1977 I think I read an article on him in Fantastic Films magazine. Ive been making movies ever since lol. see my attached claymation "GALACTIC PIRATES"! peace.
How have I watched this tribute film so many times without ever leaving a comment? Sorry about that because a big Thank You for this film is truly deserved! What an awesome look back over the career of an awesome man, this tribute really hits all the marks. Fantastic! :)
Did we all look like that at 11? I had the same glasses, the same haircut, and even the shirt looks similar.
I was well into making my own tribute when I first saw this eloquent film on a very similar theme - believe it or not I didn't base my puppet on your photo!
A bunch of tributes have just come out today for Ray's birthday - just do a search for Harryhausen90. You will find your sentiments echoed, in different ways, by all of us.
I have seen many tributes to Ray on YouTube, but this is pure love and a reminder that we have truely been given a gift in our lifetime by the name of Harryhausen.
Good Voice.
Are you a professional?
If not... DO IT!
