Tim Burton was another Director that inspired me and fascinated me as a Director. Having grown up watching 'The Nightmare before Christmas', 'The Corpse Bride', 'Coroline' and 'Alice in Wonderland' I've always been able to recognise his films just by the look of them. The dark and creepy, almost horror look that he brings to his work. But, never have I classed Tim Burton as a Goth or very horror fascinated man. His films always bring joy and happiness to them which I began to really think about with this unit. Let's take The Nightmare Before Christmas as an example.
Tim Burton didn't actually direct this movie but he wrote the script and was the production designer. From the beginning he had a clear look and vision for this film and this was the change the idea of dark and horrible themes have to go with a dark and horrible story and characters. But when you watch this film you will agree that the story and characters don't go with a horrible or evil feel. It's a loving and heart warming story.
All of Tim Burton's films go with this style, he loves to mix together this style with heart warming stories since this isn't the usual style for it and it makes him stand out from other Directors. Tim Burton has always been artistic having studied animation and always been interested in film making and drawing. He use to work for Walt Disney and worked as a storyboard artist but never had his work go forward as he always liked to give his own twist on the storyboards which were very Tim Burton but obviously not very Walt Disney.
But it's these reasons that made me interested in Tim burton as he didn't listen to the 'Rules' of filmmaking and directing. He didn't care for how things 'should be' he likes to do what he see's in his head. He has made this style work and brought some amazing animations to our screens and characters which Disney now happily push such as Skeleton Jack.
