Medusa Was Fascinating To Work With Because

I Took Courses At Usc In Film Editing And Art Direction And Photography When I Was Still In High School.

Today, They Make Films Where You Have To Sit For An Hour And A Half And Watch Somebody In The Process Of Dying And, For Me, That's Rather Depressing. Films, In The Good Old Days Of The Golden Age Of Hollywood, Used To Want To Inspire People And Give Them Uplift. You're Paying Good Money To See A Film, And You Don't Want To Leave Depressed!

There’s A Strange Quality In Stop-motion Photography, Like In King Kong, That Adds To The Fantasy. If You Make Things Too Real, Sometimes You Bring It Down To The Mundane.

Medusa Was Fascinating To Work With Because I Gave Her A Snake's Body So That She Could Pull Herself With Her Hands Which Gave Her A Very Creepy Aura. I Didn't Want To Animate Cosmic Gowns. Most Medusas You See In The Classics Have Flowing Robes Which Would Be Mad To Even Try To Animate.

You Could Believe That Sinbad Could Fight A Skeleton Because That's From A Period In The Past, A Magical Period. But If You Had James Bond Fighting A Skeleton, It'd Be Almost Comical.
