Honoring a special effects master
“Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan” is a documentary about the man responsible for the creatures in “Beast From 20,000 Fathoms,” “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad,” “Jason and the Argonauts,” “Clash of the Titans,” and many more fantasy films. Inspired by the original “King Kong,” Harryhausen mastered the slow, painstaking process of stop-motion animation — minutely adjusting miniatures and photographing them one frame at a time to create the illusion of motion.<br /><br />The film features interviews with Harryhausen (who died in 2013), as well as filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, and Guillermo del Toro, who were inspired by Harryhausen’s monsters and mythological creations and discuss how transfixed they were as kids sitting in movie theaters wondering how dinosaurs could interact with human beings, prehistoric beasts could devastate New York City, or men could battle sword-wielding skeletons.<br /><br />We see Harryhausen in the workshop where he works his magic and displays some of the models that have become iconic after their appearance in fantasy and science-fiction motion pictures. A number of books have been written about Harryhausen, but there’s nothing like seeing his work come to life, enhanced with atmospheric music, mood lighting, and expert editing that intercuts live action with animation sequences, often blending the two in the same shot for the ultra mind-blowing effect.<br /><br />Blu-ray Special Edition extras include interviews with Simon Pegg, Rick Baker, and Edgar Wright; 12 interview outtakes with Joe Dante, John Lassiter and others; deleted scenes; Paris Cinematheque Q & A; London Gate Cinema Q & A; audio commentary with the filmmakers; original trailer; Ray Harryhausen trailer reel; and reversible sleeve featuring two artworks.
