A 100th birthday tribute to the work of stop motion and effects master Ray Harryhausen. Back in 2010, quite a few of us fans around the world made animated tributes for his 90th birthday. I picked the iconic moment in 7th Voyage that probably got me hooked on stop motion, but didn't want to actually show the Cyclops. For this centenary of his birth, I've tried to do something similar with the equally memorable moment when Talos awakens in the 1963 Jason and the Argonauts, again without exactly making a Talos copy. I did, however, let the Skeleton sneak his old mate Cyclops into the scene, to substitute for the two actors playing Hylas and Hercules in the original picture. (The idea was to use puppets I already had, though Skelly needed extensive repairs and Cyclops turned out to be too small and not good enough, so I had to make a new one.) And then, of course, they tried to make it all about them.
