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.
Trine Langohr i taught they were all brilliant to be honest.
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.
I'm sorry, but when you look at Godzilla KOTM compared to rubber suits, the CGI looks much more realistic. People that make these comments are completely blinded by nostalgia.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they True but a lot of movies don't do cgi that good. A lot of this stop motion is better than bad cgi and that says a whole lot.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they there is a multitude of atrocious CGI put in movies. The lame-ass syfy channel has some terrible movies with awful CGI.
Hate me for repeating/saying this but i find these way cooler than most actual CGI.
I agree I think that cgi is overrated
Of course you do. Stop motion animation takes enormouels patience and skill. The kind of genius that Harryhausen had. And he sermed like a humble and unpretentious person.
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...
🐗
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.
R.I.P. Mr. Harryhausen. Thank you for so many legendary cinematic memories.
Cyclops was his best monster
RIP Ray Harryhausen. You were an inspiration to generations upon generations of artists, animators, filmmakers, filmgoers and so many more. You were and always will be as legendary as the creatures you brought to life. May your legacy live on.
respect, he is legend of stop motion

Waaaaaat is that you? The REAL leokim video!

Imagine getting a reply 17 years later.
You know, whenever I watch a movie with Ray Harryhausen stop-motion animation, my only complaint is that there's never enough. Thanks for this awesome compilation.
All those classic films that I watched as a child. Mr. Harryhausen may you be remembered forever.
Now these are a work of art. Pure brilliance.
Harryhausen was as much a part of my childhood as school and family. He'll live forever through his wondrous creatures. Thank you, Ray.
Making another video like this on my channel
My Grand daughter said to me, this looks so fake. I said to her " You have to believe". Imagination is the key.
Funny thing is, stop action is filmed using things that are real. CGI is actually fake!
@@matthewhaile8461 That is true Matthew.
King Solomon I had trouble understanding that statement 🥱🥱
I can't fathom the tedious nature of moving 7 or 8 articulated skeletons digit by digit, frame by frame in those fighting sequences. Utterly mind blowing.
R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen. You will always be the best stop motion artist in cinematic history. A true artist and genius mind to be remembered by everyone. I applaud you good sir.
These movies was way ahead of their time the special effects was absolutely amazing...
Harryhausen was a pure Genius...i loved all his monsters,, 1st fav The Skeletons,, 2nd fav The Harpies...,, 3rd fav The Creature from beneath the Sea...
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.
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!"
I grew up watching these movies and never realized that it was all thanks to the man, Ray Harryhausen. Thanks Ray and RIP
The cyclops from 7th Voyage of Sinbad remains my all-time favorite monster. A giant one-eyed, biped ungulate with a horned head, scaly upper torso, and voiced with an elephant’s trumpeting roar. Not something I would want chasing after me!
Imagination at its best!!
It's one of my favorites to!
Still better than most modern CGI!
lol no
I AGREE !
Genesy91 Have you seen Jurassic world?
not yet. i love stop-motion very much.
My whole point being that the CGI is pretty poor in such a high budget film, more specifically that stop motion and live action blend together better than cgi and live action. See Also: Dragon Wars.
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.
Mandolinic I believe that monsters are more scary when they don't have natural movement
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.
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.
@@RoarOfWolverine did your after effects experiment work? Would love to see the results!
GG1991 I haven’t done that experiment yet. Honestly speaking, I completely forgot about it. I am in the hospital right now, but when I am released, that’ll be the first thing I will do. Thanks for reminding me.
R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen. You've seeded the imaginations of multiple generations of dreamers. Your influence will be felt for many more generations.
Goodbye Ray, you blew my childhood mind. A pioneer, a craftsman, an imagineer. RIP
I have nearly every film he ever did and they are all brilliant! I watched one million years b.c. with my mum the other day, who saw it with her dad when she was 14 years old at the cinema. She told me little did she know that over 40 years later she would be watching it again with her daughter. Ray, you are the master of stop motion.
The song is "Mon Ti," from the incomparable Tito Puente's album "Top Percussion."
Tito Puente...ok..Thanks, I was about to ask that! BTW.....my dad took me to see Seventh Voyage of Sinbad when I was like 7 and the Cyclops scene scared me right out of my socks. I had nightmares about it. Ray Harryhausen was like the Led Zeppelin of big cinema special effects!
There may be no going back from cgi,, but I love these animated creatures!!
The man's a genius, such fluid motion it's hard to believe!
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.
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.
The Medusa in the original Clash of the Titans was far more terrifying and menacing than the CGI one in the remake. That scene had far greater true suspense and terror than the hyperkinetic confrontation between Jason and the Medusa in the remake.
Don F I took my son a few years back to see Jason and the Argonauts on a big screen revival of the movie. The scene with Talos and the Skeleton army still awed him as a millennial
The biggest creature I'd go for but yes it's hard to pick, so many great stuff, I was scared of theses giants when I was small.
My favorite would have to be the kraken, second would be the cyclops.
My first experience of Ray's work was when I first saw Talos turned his head at Hercules. I remember being scared. That was when I got hooked on stop action movies. Of all of his creations, Minotar in Sinbad in the eyes of the tiger is my favorite.
Donald Kennedy all these years later Talos is still scary af
My favorite is the Cyclope and the Troglotyde
He was called Minoton in the film.
The absolute master of special effects, no doubt about it. Rays work will be remembered and admired for generations!
The has to be most impressive creature and full of awe has to be Talos from Jason and the argonauts. Even in 2020 it still puts a chill down my spine along with the perfectly suited background music. Brilliant.
Looks much better than most of the CGI effects in the modern time!
Jetijan i agree
Not really
@@Prof_Tickles92 Dont be silly child
@@Prof_Tickles92 It's true though. I dare you to show me one scene where a cg animated character, and a real actor interact, that actually looks realistic
That comment it's too edgy
My wife laughs at me, because when any of these films are on tv , i love watching them. The sinbad films are my personal favourites.
“The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad” was very good. 100% on Tomatometer.
To you Ray, one of the last of the true film pioneers, thank you for all the wonders and magic that you had impart to the child in all of us.
God Bless, may rest in peace.
Fantasticos efectos especiales....recordemos q en esa decada...no habia efectos por computadora...era simplemente un maestro....yo creci viendo esas pelis..y me sorprendia esas criaturas y mounstruos
Perfect choice of music, two masters of their craft, rest in peace to both of them, they enriched the world and made it a better place. The 60 people that disliked this have no soul and have no idea of the passion and effort Harryhausen put into his work.
in terms of stop motion, those are incredibly smooth. Great attention to detail.
More frightening and imaginative than anything created on a computer. You were a genius, Mr. Harryhausen...and your brilliant creatures are immortal.
One of the best movies ever made, every one is masterpiece!
Loved these old movies as a kid. Jason and the Argonauts was number one for me!
Genius. So far ahead of his time.
R.I.P.
I met Ray Harryhausen at a sci-fi convention in St. Louis. He's an awesome person, a gentleman, and very friendly to his fans. And a genius!
I like how smooth those skeletons move.
Awesome memories!!! The younger generations have no idea how to appreciate the hard work and time invested to do this "back in the day"!
His craftsmanship and patience were incredible, even today...
Thank you for putting this together and presenting it on TH-cam. Ray Harryhausen is one of the reasons that I'm a filmmaker. I haven't seen some of these clips for years. They are still amazing. ;-)

Used to watch all these films as a kid. Liked the skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts. Before the age of CGI this man was an innovator Legend and genius
I wish there was a way to nominate this for a "Best of TH-cam" award. Simply amazing!!!
What a genius. Jason and the Argonauts was definitely my favourite.
Talos!! The best!
You will never see a great collection of a CG artists work like this. God stop animation is the greatest thing to ever happen to cinema.
That man was a genius, hands down.
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.
When I was 13, I went to the Grove Theater and saw all three Sinbad movies for the price of one ticket. Yes, I'm old. Back in my day, you usually got two movies for one price. Sorry kids, you missed it. Things were just fine before CG and the internet. But hey, you have TH-cam, right? Thanks Ray, you enthralled me. Well, it's 4:30, time for bed.
Damn! The whole trilogy?! Is enough trouble to get theaters to show one classic movie in theaters for a special occasion. Must have been epic. Got to watch the first sinbad movie for my birthday last year i’m still hunting down the other two. If its any consolation I hear they’re gonna try to make a movie out of one of harrys projects he never got to finish. Force of the trojans I think its called? If its true I hope they have the decency to use proper stop motion dynamation, kinda defeats the point if CGI was involved.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 hey bro... Amazon Prime Video has them all... I should know, I own them, and another gem... Mysterious Island. Your search has ended my friend.
Christopher Peterson really? Now I just feel silly pfft. Thanks for the assist friend!
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 enjoy! Don't forget Jason and the Argonauts....
Christopher Peterson oh its on there too? I had the courtesy of watching that one a few years back but it would be nice to have it on the fly! It was the second harryhausen film I had the pleasure of watching in full. The first being beast from 20,000 fathoms.
I was just a kid when my Dad took me with him to see some of these marvellous … for that time … animated creature features. Dad, thanks so much for making me a sci-fi fan for the rest of my life! The cyclops and fighting skeletons are still my faves. I even created my own stop action mini movies with his 8mm movie camera. So long ago but still relevant. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Ray became so amazing at effects after being mentored by the master Willis O’Brien himself. Willis taught Ray into becoming the expert he was. Rip both of them legends. 🪦
Ray was well on his way to professional quality work before he met Obie. But working with Obie directly, doing most of the animation on MIGHTY JOE YOUNG, certainly prepared Ray for his first professional gig, on his own.

Hola, sin duda fue un extraordinario talento y su legado aun perdura.
Cómo se llama la película que aparece el demonio"
Mat Bergman, this is pure, classic gold. Thanks so much for posting this.
Fantastic! ..can see why he was the inspiration of many modern film makers, the Medusa scene in the film is tension filled and so atmospheric,.. unlike the modern CGI version, where in my opinion NOTHING was frightening about it and completely devoid of atmosphere! also the Kali fight scene animation was done flawlessly with smooth motion as Mr Harryhausen pointed out took many painstaking hours to create.... Cinematic Brilliance!
A true auteur and cinematic genius.
I envy anyone who has yet to discover Ray Harryhausen's extraordinary body of work.
God bless you, Ray!
his skeleton battle in Jason and the Argonauts was his finest work He saw King Kong in 1931 when he was 13 and took the once special effect of stop motion animation and turned it into an art form.
Not only genious, timeless scenes of the greatest of his art, but also the music with it just brins the whole thing beyond...woww...Thanks!!!!
Being stop motion, this guy is really great. I remember seeing some of those Simbad movies as a kid, and even though felt lame-ish, it was really amazing.
I have always loved Ray's work and films and will continue to watch them always. There is something so magical about his stuff that CGI simply cannot recreate. RIP Ray, thanks for the magic.
"If you do creatures more realistics, it looses his quality of nightmare" Ray Harryhausen.
Hoorah for Ray Harryhausen!, what a genius!.
The BEAST is the Best. One of the Top Ten Films of AAALLL Time!! CuffColl.
RIP, you have given a great joy to people who have seen your work. And an inspiration to many a filmmaker.
The man was a genius, period.
I remember these fondly from when I was a kid watching early morning movies on tv. Still great!
The first video I ever saw on TH-cam.😁
I'm sick of hipsters trying to get thumbs up just by saying that stop motion looks better than CGI. Whilst I appreciate the hard work and effort that went into stop motion, and not to mention the influence that people like Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen have had on special effects, you can't say that the CGI in films like Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 or Lord of the Rings look bad can you?
GREAT JOB
Rays work is unique and full of magic, mystery, poetry. Nobody could do what he had done. The CGI effects of today are only a craft. Nearly everyone could do when he had the software and the education. It's like building a table or chair.
Isn't it amazing how he could match up the stop motion perfectly with the live action?
thank you for posting this,when I was a kid these movies were like the coolest things in the world.Ray Harryhausen was/is the master of 'special effects creatures',considering the technology that was available at that time and the tiny budget he had to work with.
All of Harryhausen creations had something that cgi will never have realism.
Having grown up during the tail end of the Harryhausen age and being both a fan or his work and a fan of CGI, this comment is why I roll my eyes at some people, if you don't understand CGI, you're liable to make a stupid comment like this one. Ray Harryhausen had his age(s) but to say CGI will never have realism is just utter nonsense.
Carlos Santiago CGI just needs to be handled by the right people and whatever creature they're animating will look as real as a living animal. Of course that's no easy task, but it's not impossible aswell.
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.
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.
While I agree CGI does can never be as "real" as stop motion, it is definitely a great way to show us such thing we wouldn't be able to with stop motion and it can look very real when done correctly, through I wish everything didn't have to be CGI these days
i can't hold back the tears. he brought more life to these creatures then most actors bring to a role. you shaped my imagination and you will never be forgotten
Man these movies look so interesting, such variety of giant creatures, and miniature creatures. Nothing like the crap Hollywood shits out nowadays.
RIP, Ray. Thanks for all your movies.
It wasn't just special effects. Harry gave his monsters character, personality and soul. That's how after all these years I remember them, and can't remember crap from the CGI stuff we have now. It's not all about making it look as realistic as possible. There's more to it than most of what s/f guys sitting behind a computer understand a lick of today.
R. Heart yes, you are spot on! Harryhausen's monsters have pizazz, enchantment and soul as compared to the current super smooth CGI motion but vacuous monsters of the present.
I STILL say this is better then CG. It has a quality and personality that defies anything a computer can do
That giant bee looked amazingly reliable.
Thanks for putting this up, that list you have in your description will help me fill the gaps in my Harryhausen collection.
Who else likes stop motion beasties better than CGI?
Excellent point. the characters had such nightmarish and earthy qualities. It will always be timeless!
I wish they had added a little "Film Title" bar to the corner of the screen, so we could see which film each scene was from ...
Anyway, I'd rather watch the stop-action work of Ray Harryhausen than shitty CGI any day!

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.

Check this out... I just watched this film, and it was pretty incredible work, almost defying you to believe it was stop-action production. Really well done, and I'm going to check out the other 3~4 films made by the studio.

Ray Harryhausen and Gerry Anderson were true masters of their craft. Pure genius. And for someone in my age group, a lot of both their work still holds up and dare I say surpasses a lot of today's CGI stuff. And wizzer1337 is totally on: this stuff is not easy and is VERY time consuming.
Everyone is saying it and as a lover of film i must agree. His work was magnificent and realistic compared to the crappy video game cgi we get in movies today.
The yoda of animation has left the room. We can only carry on. We loved your work Ray. You don't know how many kids you kept from religious services on Sunday mornings hoping to see your animation...
To me this looks more realistic than CGI.
Brendan Alimony it depends which CGI this looks better than some CG
Brendan Alimony shut up, you know that isn't true
@@super8studios208 it is true though
Such a huge talent. Making the impossible possible on a budget in the era before CGI. I don't know if the younger generation can appreciate how amazing he was, but for us geezers it was love at first sight.
The best monsters ever made
Mighty Joe Young! Every boomer kid growing up in the 50's MJH was a hero. Loved him!
I wish they would bring this back, with the advanced cameras of today they could eliminate the choppy low frame rate and create some incredible effects.
They are binging It back! unused Harryhausen designs are going to be put into an unmade Harryhausen film and it's going to use STOP MOTION!
Great tribute! Thanks for compiling!
The first thing that comes to mind when remembering Harryhausen's work... a timbale solo.
That was an awesome journey back to my youth!
