Ray Harryhausen is 88 today :-)
Today is Ray Harryhausen's 88th birthday. There are very few people that have done as much for the unique art form of stop-motion animation has he has. The level of creativity shown with films from "Jason And The Argonauts" all the way through to "Clash Of The Titans" (ignoring the presence of Harry Hamlin for the moment) exceeded anything being done by anyone else at the time. Unlike "modern" stop-action and CG animation films, which frequently feature a production staff of thousands, Harryhausen did virtually everything himself. His work still sets a standard that most of us can only dream of attaining.

Hall of Fame FIRST Team 254 has arguably helped more teams become good than any other team in FIRST. I don't think they need a lecture on helping their opponents. - Karthik [more]
