| Resumo: | [EN] Ray Harryhausen (1920-2103) was the creator of the animation special effects of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958), Jason and the Argonauts (1964) or Clash of the Titans (1981), but his share in the movies went further, suggesting arguments, designing scenes and animating creatures. For that reason he is considered not only an animator, but the soul of the films in which he participated. This research attempts to analyze the reasons why we believe that Ray Harryhasusen is one of the greatest fantasy film creators of the history, an universal and unique craftsman, as Méliès and Walt Disney. Through a tour of his life and work focus on people and circumstances that we have considered relevant to his sentimental education and training as an artist, whether through family or professional relationships, or through movies like King Kong or such the works of Gustave Doré or Charles R. Knight. The most important thing that has transpired in his films has been the creatures that starred in, real stars that relieved the human actors into the background. All those creations emerged from the author's own mind and reflect his personality and love for fantasy and the supernatural through the purely craftsmanship technic like Dynamation. This gallery is made up of dinosaurs, mythological animals, aliens, legendary monsters and all sorts of creatures, not monsters, arising from his imagination and encouraged by his own hand. In this work will treat each of them, analyzing their origins, design, movement, character and influence in later works of other authors or fields, meeting with style striking and revealing similarities of style and design. This rerearch, in sum, is a love letter to Harryhausen. |
