Podcast Episode 51 features an entertaining conversation with Andy Gent, director of London-based Arch Model Studio.
Best known for creating the puppets and animation for classic films such as ‘Isle of Dogs’ and ‘The Fantastic Mr Fox’, the studio were presented with the inaugural Ray Harryhausen Award for ‘Best Commercial Film Animation’ in 2022. Their short feature ‘Save Ralph’ saw thought-provoking exploration of animal testing and vivisection, featuring the voice talents of Ricky Gervais and Taika Waititi.
Andy discusses his history as a Harryhausen fan, and his later encounters with Ray. He explains how Ray’s work has gone on to influence and inspire his own career, as well as the ongoing legacy that the stop-motion master’s work has left upon the wider industry.
