Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013)

As you may know, last tuesday died Ray Harryhausen, special effects and stop motion animation specialist, famous for his works in classical adventure films like Jason and the Argonauts (of which you can view the animated skeletons scene in one of the videos of this post).

Many of us who like role-playing games and fantasy also like classic adventure cinema as portrayed in those films where Ray Harryhausen collaborated and don't seem to age, so I suggest you not to miss the chance of viewing them, I'm sure you won't regret it.
