In a new episode of Tested, Adam Savage He visited a prop shop in London, where some of the original stop-motion creatures created by artist Ray Harryhausen were on display.
The video comes with the following note: “Adam gets up close and personal with the iconic stop-motion creatures that Ray Harryhausen created and produced for films like Jason and the Argonauts and Sinbad’s Golden Voyage!
“From towering Talos to sword-wielding statues of Kali, these light test models and preserved casts of the original puppets were crafted by Harryhausen himself, showcasing the legendary effects artist’s design sensibility and creature aesthetics.”
As a big fan of Harryhausen’s work, it was so cool to see that some of these stop-motion puppets still exist, and Savage was lucky enough to see them in person!
