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.

I always worked with the writer, and the producer, and sometimes the director wouldn't come in until the picture was ready to go.

I was responsible for laying out the special effects and making the picture practical.
