ABSTRACT
I really admire all Ray Harryhausen’s work. I did try to emulate him when I started with my own home movies. In the attic, I remember making a model dinosaur, which was bendable – wire coat-hangers as armatures – I didn’t know anything about the right wire or the right rubber, materials or anything. I used foam rubber on the body, but I didn’t know what to cover it with – what would make leathery skin – so I used my mum’s old nylon tights and spray painted it. I never got to make that movie – I had big plans for it: Live Action/Animation movie – but it never came off.
