Animation I like:
The Brothers Quay:
The Street of Crocodiles and others...
Bolex Brothers: The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb
Tim Burton:Vincent and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Jan Svankmajer
Henry Selick, director of The Nightmare Before Christmas
and James and the Giant Peach
Why Animation?
Animation is an extension of my still
images, the idea of multiple images and sequential images.
It is the creation of movement
and change combined in painted constructions seen in the variable focus
of photography.
There is also the magic of creating
apparent life in small objects/puppets in an enclosed world,
all somewhat uncanny.
My personal vision can be achieved with the control
I have in an animated production, which the larger scale live action
production can not have.
