I had seen Harryhausen's work long before I knew his name, which I first heard as a student at CalArts. Two friends from film graphics, Steve Burg and Shannon Shea, were always talking about this brilliant guy Harryhausen. For the longest time, I thought his name was Harry Hausen - they never referred to him using his first name. They had super 8 films of their primitive attempts to ape Harryhausen - pardon the pun. Shannon was animating dinosaurs, Steve was more about space ships.

Ray Harryhausen Lives!
Mention the film Jason and the Argonauts, and people think of Ray Harryhausen. He didn't write it, he didn't direct it, he didn't star in it. But it's his film. He produced it, and other fantasy adventures like it around his ideas involving stop-motion animation - an enviable position.
