Okay, this video was totally messed up! But was so awesome! I was told to watch it by my tutor because it was relevant to the animation that I created and indeed it was but a little bit more stranger than mine. Upon watching the video, I thought it was created very well and obviously had taken the creator a while to make because it was about 14 minutes long. Boiled dolls, a bit of doll cannibalism and a dancing outfit on a coat hanger? Pretty strange indeed but amazingly created! I really enjoyed watching this video because it was different and unique and of course, it was stop motion which is the technique that we have been practicing throughout our course.
Jan Svankmajer was born on the 3rd September, 1934, was born in Prague and is a Czech film maker and artist whose work spans several media. He is a self labeled surrealist known for his surreal animations and features, which have greatly influenced other artists such as Terry Gilliam, The Brother's Quay and many others. He studied at the College of Applied Arts in Prague and later in the Department of Puppetry at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts. He has gained a reputation for his distinctive use of stop motion technique, and his ability to create surreal, nightmarish, and yet somehow funny pictures. He continues to create films in Prague.
