The Ray Harryhausen Creature List

[@TheAlchemme]

R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen :( Another in the 92 club. He was the king of the 'creature feature' & the greatest genius stop motion animation ever knew. The sheer scope of the man's work is truly amazing. His is a one-of-a-kind legacy. The movie world owes him a HUGE debt of gratitude. Special effects wouldn't be the same without his highly original contributions. Thanks for the great memories Ray, you'll be missed. Feel like a part of my childhood died along with him...

[@jeffmissinne3866]

Consider the planning, coordination and patience it took to move those multi-armed, multi-headed creatures over and over again, one single frame of film (1/24th of a second) at a time. And he worked on these films virtually solo, with few if any assistants. You have been looking at the work of a master craftsman here. Honor his legacy.

[@trinelangohr6661]

I love how Harryhausen paid so much attention to anatomy and the way creatures move - animals and humanlike creatures both. There's so much love and attention in these things. Some of them are brilliant, some of them are... not that brilliant, but they all FEEL better than CGI.

[@regkray9872]

Trine Langohr i taught they were all brilliant to be honest.

[@petereyes1059]

Bruce Lee indeed. The light shading & texture of the creatures gave them a realistic feel. Unfortunately, the frames per second gave them a mechanical feel.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

Thank you for this video. It is incredible to see Ray’s brilliant works cut back to back like this. He was so ahead of his time. I can’t imagine how real his animation would have looked if he had the Go Motion technique later added by ILM. The Go Motion added motion blur to the moving parts in each frame, smoothing out the jerky movement earlier stop motion animation had. They may have had the motion blur, but no one could animate like Ray. All of the movements of his creatures were so natural and he was really good at giving the impression of tremendous weight to the larger monsters. Motion blur can now be added digitally. It would be interesting to see it done with some of Ray’s creatures. I might try that. It may not look so cool because I think it was the shaky movements of his creatures that added an “other worldly” feel to these fantasy characters. I know that when I first saw King Kong as a child, the way he moved scared me, so I think it does add a creepiness to the creatures. No matter, Ray Harryhausen was the god of stop motion animation. He influenced so many people with his innovative techniques and the incredible anatomy he gave each character. He always considered the skeletal structure and muscles when sculpting and animation his creatures. The art of cinematography owes a lot to the genius of Ray Harryhausen.

[@dondragmer2412]

He inspired one of the last of the true masters of stop-motion, Phil Tippet, who was consultant to Spielberg for Jurassic Park. Check out his beautiful and convincing work in an old documentary about dinosaurs, hosted by Christopher Reeve. I believe I have that DVD and I've watched it several times. I think it's called "Dinosaur!"

[@tiner27]

Mat Bergman, this is pure, classic gold. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@mandolinic]

I saw plenty of Ray Harryhausen films in the cinema when I was a kid. You don't really see it on the small screen, but on the big screen his creatures had a strange, unreal quality; a sort of controlled jerkiness that made them sinister and threatening. Of course, I now know that the jerkiness comes from the lack of motion blur in stop motion animation. Even so, if I ever get to meet a real dinosaur, I kind of hope that it will move in the same way as a Harryhausen monster.

[@YMPictures]

Mandolinic I believe that monsters are more scary when they don't have natural movement

[@computerguy6264]

It's the low frame rate. Not blur. They just could not do 30 frames per second, it would have taken years to finish. Most of them are 10-15 frames per second.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

Michael Blanc you’re right about the slower frame rate, but the lack of motion blur plays a vital role in the jerky movements. When ILM first introduced Go Motion, I believe it was on the dragon in “Dragonslayer”, which is still one of the best dragons ever put on film, sorry Game Of Thrones, but Vermithrax Pejorative had you beat. Most of the time the would shoot a movement every two frames among the creature. Moving at a frame rate of 22 frames per second, but they had to be filmed at 24 FPS because that is what the actors were filmed at. I think the lack of motion blur mostly caused this signature shaky movements. One way to find out would be to take these clips and add motion blur in After Effects and see how much it smooths out the movements. I think I’ll try doing that.

[@GG1991]

Thank you so much for putting this together, and for doing it so well. I always wanted so much to meet him, but the one time we were going to I had to cancel because of a family emergency. On the phone I told him that the single moment I always found most amazing in all of his work is when the cyclops picks Sinbad up by the heel of his boot. He laughed a little and said, “That’s nice to hear, because that moment has always bothered me. There was some jiggling there that I couldn’t control.” I told him I’d seen the movie dozens of times without noticing that. Today I see it, but I’m sure I never would have if he hadn’t called it to my attention. What a brilliant, amazing man he was, and what stunning magic he gave us! Again, thanks for this compilation.

[@donf9868]

Wow to pick a fave Harryhausen creature would be tough, my fave movie as a kid was Jason & the Argonauts (and I still love it to this day) but I guess my fave Harryhausen creature would be the Medusa in Clash of the Titans. I do feel The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms was very underrated and a very good movie with a great music score. I will always love Ray's work and it brings back so many fond childhood memories. We miss you Ray and thanks for all the great work in the movies.

[@alanberent4428]

Don F- Stick with Jason. When I first saw it at the movies, and that statue turned his head to look at Hercules, and that creaking sound, I had to get up and run to the bathroom. Sinbad was a good one too.

Though I like stop-motion, having spent my childhood watching Ray's and Danforth's films, there is a lot of good CGI too. Even so, I think it would be cool to do fake stop-mo, that is, stop-motion done with CGI because it would be too expensive now to do real stop-motion (Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run notwithstanding). Just use CGI to simulate the look of stop-motion or go-motion.

[@Venckman]

Carlos Santiago I think CGI is falling into a bit of a trap lately. It's so very common that a lot of "big" effects have the problem of appearing quickly dashed off -- they have a flat, superficial look and way of motion that simply looks cartoony. Not all of it, obviously, but there is a "sameness" to a lot of it, and I find myself losing interest in the effects in a lot of CGI heavy movies because of it. This isn't something I've ever experienced with a Harryhausen effect, partly because I'm a fan of stop motion, but mostly because of the detail and depth most of his creations seem to possess. I think the CGI artists of today would be foolish to gloss over him as merely quaint and antiquated.

[@Itstherantman]

Venckman Here's the thing that kinda bothers me about people who shit on CGI, while I agree it's overused at times and people tend to rush them, but...one thing that bothers me is that people refuse to admit they're highly biased and make their comments based on their biases and not realistic consideration of the effects and the time they were used. In the period up to the early eighties,stop motion was very good, but now, you'd be an idiot to think you could even compare CGI vs stop motion, in the realm of realism. I've been involved using and learning about CGI for over 10 years, used almost all kinds of 3D software, I know what good cgi looks like vs shitty cgi.
