The World of Claymation and Stop-Motion
It was the early films of Ray Harryhausen that first sparked my interest in claymation and stop-motion films. The Sinbad movies, Jason and the Argonauts later on it was Clash of the Titans, and then Tim Burton films like Vincent and The Nightmare Before Christmas all had scenes created with this art form. With all my searching on the net I dicovered that there is a generous amount of "how to" information available in addition to all the classic and current films on DVD. I'd like to share with you some of the links I have come across and also a list of great movies and books on the subject.
When it comes to special speacial effects Ray Harryhausen was in a league of his own. With such a large body of work I've posted links that list his films and other accomplishments....

I love claymation, and this is a great lens for anyone else who enjoys it too. I'd love to include it in the Collector Clubs group, however it's not really a collecting lens so I won't be able to add it. Still a 5-star lens though!
