Exam Project: Ray Harryhausen.

"The computer is a remarkable thing, I have a great respect for it but I think its a tool, it doesnt mean you have to use a computer for every type of story, I think different types of story, animation ads that quality, the dream quality." - Ray Harryhausen.

This quote is very interesting. Ray Harryhausen is a stop-frame animator who worked on early stop-frame movies such as, Clash of the Titans and King Kong. He is thought of as a pioneer of the art of stop-motion animation. The reason I find this quote interesting is because of the 'dream quality' he talks about. This refers back to what I said in the first post in this blog in the way we see stop-motion. Its real, it exists outside of a computer screen and when you watch these still objects bought to life it is almost magical and 'dream-like'. This is another reason I am inspired to create a stop motion.
