We grew up watching classic horror, monster, science fiction and fantasy films. Our favorite films were those where the creatures were brought to life by stop motion animation. We both had opportunities to meet stop motion animator‚ Ray Harryhausen. Bride of Wire Studio is the outlet for our creative expression. The phrase bride of wire‚ conjures images of a woman made of twisted metal wire which is also how many stop motion armatures are created. It also sounds like the title of a "B" horror movie.
