The remarkable career of the movie industrys most admired and influential special-effects auteur, the legendary Ray Harryhausen, is the subject of Gilles Pensos definitive documentary Ray Harryhausen Special Effects Titan. Leaving no doubt as to Harryhausens seminal influence on modern-day special effects, the documentary features enlightening and entertaining interviews with the man himself, Randy Cook, Peter Jackson, Nick Park, Phil Tippet, Terry Gilliam, Dennis Muren, John Landis, Guillermo Del Toro, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and many more. These filmmakers, who today push the boundaries of special effects movie-making, pay tribute to the father of Stop Motion animation and films such as The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, It Came From Beneath The Sea, The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad, Mysterious Island, Jason And The Argonauts and The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad, the films that enthralled them as children and inspired them to become filmmakers in their own right.

I meet Ray at his home in L.A. and then was able to be on the set of Clash of the Titans in England. I wanted to go into stop motion and was able to do some work, but then ended up a professor working in neuroscience. I use many of his films to understand emotion and memory, and used them to help individuals with traumatic brain injury to improve memory function post injury. Amazing how the Arts can impact science. Thanks Ray.

Great Documentary of a Real Legend he was one of my Heroes too as a boy I loved all his Films... Great Inspiration to do many film makers and artists. We will miss You Ray.
