If you’ve been reading the news and are feeling a wee bit dour, this movie should rejuvenate you a bit! It’s a 14-minute video of Terry Gilliam explaining his cut out film animation technique. It’s a great how-to for artists, and it’s filled with examples of Gilliam’s ingenious, hilarious work. I especially like the holiday-themed series of short animations just a few minutes in.
Found myself especially cognizant of the importance of music and sound effects in these films. Enjoy!
