Tim Burton, Claymation Catastrophy or Genious?

[grasshopper420]

well i wasnt going to post this as a poll but what the hell go for it ppl i personally love respect and admire tim burton

Well I had to look up who he was and when I saw a pic I still don't know who he is... I skimmed some stuff and read Batman,,,so I think he's a director or producer... I say I don't know...

Genius. I resent how CGI is replacing all other, in my opinion more artistic animation techniques such as hand drawn and claymation. Funnily enough, i'm not much a fan of Ngithmare Before Christmas, maybe thanks to it's descent into emo-dom, however Corpse Bride is one of the most beautiful movies i've ever seen.
Love him, can't wait for his next movie, whatever the heck that'll be.

TIM BURTON IS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS

i love tim burton and greatly admire his work. (it doesn't hurt that johnny depp just haaaaaappens to be in a lot of his movies...;) ) ...from edward scissorhands to sleepy hollow to the fan-fucking-tastic first full-length claymation movie the nightmare before christmas...which happens to be my favorite movie ever. it's insane to watch, especially if you're completely baked...if you haven't tried it, you should. it's awesome.

do it.

burton makes some good flicks, corpse bride and nightmare before christmas are very impressive. even if you don't like the movies, you have to respect the time and effort that went into them.

It's not like he did all the work. . . Tim burton is only famous for the friends he keeps. If it wasn't for him he would of just made PeeWee movies. . .

right on dude

there were about 60 major characters for the film (when i say major characters, i mean characters that had to have puppets and duplicate puppets), they had to make several duplicate puppets for almost every major character, which means they ended up with around 200 puppets, they had about 20 stages going at once, and as many as 15 animators working at once. they had to make multiple heads for each puppet because of all the different facial expressions and emotions displayed (even blinking!), and if i remember correctly, jack skellington had about 250 different heads.

this was the first full-length claymation film. stop motion animation - every single frame and motion is filmed as a new action. so everytime something happens, every frame has to be stopped, and the puppet has the be moved for each frame...if there's a problem with a frame (some are 400 frame shots), the entire 400 frame shot had to be re-shot. to complete just one minute of finished film took an entire week of shooting (and that's a conservative estimate) - and nightmare is 76 minutes long.

there are also lots of special effects with shadows and ghosts and such.

this was the first stop motion animation movie with these kinds of production values.

sorry, not trying to preach. this is just my fave movie and i love it, and i'm just stating the facts :D
