Ray Harryhausen: Career in pictures

Ray Harryhausen, the visual effects pioneer who inspired a generation of filmmakers with his stop-motion animated creatures, died of natural causes on Tuesday at age 92. The method of animation he created to bring his creatures to life was called "Dynamation."

Ray Harryhausen pioneered stop-motion animation, creating classics such as ‘The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms,’ and ‘The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.’ Without his work, ‘there never would have been a “Star Wars” or a “Jurassic Park,’’’ Steven Spielberg said.

'The Story of the Tortoise and the Hare' (2002)

Harryhausen produced a series of films based on fairy tales in the 1950s. However, one, “The Story of the Tortoise and the Hare,” was never finished. Fifty years later, two animators, Seamus Walsh and Mark Caballero, dusted off Harryhausen’s old props and, under Harryhausen’s guidance, finished the film, which won an Annie Award for short film.  (Myung J.
