competition winners get to meet Ray Harryhausen





Congratulations to both the winners. The competition was judged by Tony Dalton from the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation



Victoria Smith sent us this animation of her skeltal dinosaur.

"We chose this as one of the winners as we really like the fact that Victoria had made the creature herself. There is a nice moment in the animation where the dragon tries to shelter from the rain by putting his wings over his head, but with no skin between the bones he still carries on getting wet and kicks the football in frustration, a subtle reference to the World Cup maybe?"

The other winner was Jamie Gibbs



"We loved this animation because of the story it told. There are some lovely moments, such as the toast and jam, but my favourite bit is when the robot folds the clothes right at the end. Jamie is obviously very interested in the art of animation and it shows in this video."

Both winners attended the launch of the exhibition and met Ray Harryhausen and received the new book "Ray Harryhausen - A Life In Pictures" signed by him.
