He’s going to be interviewed on [NPR’S Fresh Air With Terry Gross](http://npr.org/) on Monday! Didn’t realize the guy was still breathing, but apparently he is and he’s giving interviews! Should be worth a listen, to say the least.

> Ray Harryhausen, master special-effects artist. He created model-animation and composite-cinematography techniques. His trademark Dynamation method made possible a whole genre of science fiction and fantasy films. His work include The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans.
So, it looks like it’s really him!

Ray Harryhausen is coming to the college where I work (and study) to give a lecture on March 19th, supposedly for the animation students, and I’m going. It’s already so popular that we’ve had to issue tickets for it.
