At the Academy Museum's Debbie Reynolds Conservation Studio, Adam examines an original creature by effects legend Ray Harryhausen! Unlike the stop-motion puppets use for animating these creatures on film, this Rhedosaurus from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is a sculpture made of delicate modeling clay. That allows Adam to see the original sculpting work up close, as well as reveal the parts restored by conservators that can only be seen under ultraviolet light!
