About the Book:

The last great animator before the introduction of CGI, Ray Harryhausen takes us through the pleasures and pitfalls of sixty years' bringing inanimate objects to life. Anecdotal, insightful and honest, An Animated Life features hundreds of previously unpublished photos from his personal archive. It explains the basics of special effects and stop-motion animation, what working with film stars of the day was like, and how his creations were really the stars of the movies.

About the Author:

Ray Harryhausen is revered as the master of special effects in the pre-computer age. His timeless work includes Jason and the Argonauts and The Clash of the Titans. He received an honorary Oscar in 1992 and a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in 2003. Many know his name from the elegant restaurant Harryhausen's in the animated movie Monsters Inc. He lives in London.

Tony Dalton has known Harryhausen for more than thirty years. A film historian and writer, he runs his own archive research company. His previous books, also co-written with Harryhausen, are Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life and The Art of Ray Harryhausen. He also lives in London.
