fully detailed, this new manual from expert modeler Keith
Julier provides a practical guide for craftsmen who want to

Harryhausen: An Animated Life - For the past half century
Harryhausen has been the foremost practitioner of the craft
of stop-motion animation, the cinematic art of meticulously
moving models, frame by frame, to create an illusion of motion.
Inspired by King Kong, still the ultimate example of the technique,
at age 13, Harryhausen soon became the protege of Kong's creator,
Willis O'Brien. He progressed to bringing dinosaurs
and giant, mutated animals to life in several fondly remembered
1950s horror films and hit his stride in a series of 1960s
and 1970s period fantasy films that pitted such legendary
heroes as Sinbad and Jason against harpies, centaurs, and,
most memorably, sword-fighting skeletons.
