Two events! 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
Mark Glassy is an avid science fiction fan and has spent his entire life assembling a huge collection of books, art, toys, and more. By day, he is a cancer research scientist and pharmaceutical drug inventor.
This lecture details the career of Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013), a man who personifies movie magic. Harryhausen was a master animator and special-effects creator who produced stop-motion animation effects known as “dynamation,” in which characters interact with the live-action world. Some of Harryhausen’s films include Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and Jason and the Argonauts, which includes a battle sequence considered to be the greatest stop-motion sequence ever filmed.
Drop-in makerspace activity to follow from 2-4pm. Come create your own stop-motion creature!
