On Thursday the 12th of March, at the Bristol Watershed, I got to see Ray Harryhausen, the stop motion legend. He was there as part of the Encounters Festival, for a screening of his most famous film to have worked on: Jason and the Argonauts.
Unfortunately, as we had got our tickets well in advance, they failed to state upon that he was doing book signings before the screening. So I missed out [as usual] on a great face-to-face moment. Still, it was great to see the man - albeit at a distance - and hear what he had to say. A very inspirational animator. (His drawings are also cracking.)
Peter Lord of Aardman was the introductory-head (third time of seeing him!) and Richard Williams walked by in the queue and was sat in the screening too (also the third time of seeing him!).
Seriously, they don't lie when they say Bristol is the main hub of Animation in the UK. ;) It's a great experience.
