Harryhausen, the grandfather of visual effects is producing Roland Emmerich's new film 2012. Where once creativity was the fuel behind filmmaking, Emmerich has taken the idea of the world on the pinnacle of destruction and has made it into a career for himself. I don't know about anyone else, but I am pretty tired of it. Yet these films make millions, why? Because when it all comes down to it, the film goer wants to be taken away from their everyday life and into a world of stunning imagery and fantastical and unbelievable drama.
Harryhausen, using claymation and determination started these amazing effects back in the 1940s which today captivate us film after film.
