@VHDT10 Direct quote from Harry Walton from an interview from Famous Monsters of Filmland.

@VHDT10 On Willow ILM used blue-screen compositing for scenes where Val Kilmer’s character fights a two-headed dragon. Dennis Muren allowed a small team of us to try to get some of those shots using the Dynamation method. It worked – we got each of our shots done in five days, versus four weeks for each composite in the optical department — and George Lucas was happy. We used 35mm VistaVision plates and composited down to 4 perf 35mm format using anamorphic lenses.

@VHDT10 Well, some of it is stop-motion. Harry Walton did the effects for the two-headed dragon

[VHDT10]

@AtorTheFlyingEagle The Hydra is in stop motion. 30 frames per second. One of the best stop motion effects I've ever seen.
