2. • Even if you’ve only seen one or two of his
films you can tell his work immediately by
the art style and contrast to the Dr. Seuss
meets Goth Culture appreciation. His
filmography includes work so unique that
the styles show the demographic but most
all of it is done in a light adult way so that
children may enjoy the quality of his work

4. His background as an animator explains some of the amazing im
which carry out his personal style as if he'd drawn them from
emotion itself.
They are fairy tales for adults and children,
with themes we all deal with blown up to
operatic proportions.
5. • You always have to feel like it's going
to be the greatest, even if you know
it's going to be a piece of crap.
• One person`s craziness is another
person`s reality.

7. • When Tim Burton was directing for “Edward
Scissorhands,” he said on a behind-the-scenes
that as a teen he was unable to communicate,
art was his escape to the outside world.
8. • This is how Tim Burton views Characterization
of a “Lifelike” character, and these show Tim’s
vision of himself through a well done view of
what “Life-Like” will drive you to do.

10. • All monster movies are basically one story. It's
Beauty and the Beast. Monster movies are my
form of myth, of fairy tale. The
purpose of folk tales for me is a
kind of extreme, symbolic version
of life, of what you're going
through.
11. Tim Walter Poe or Edgar Allan Burton?
• Burton states, “I linked those monsters and
those Edgar Allan Poe things to direct feelings.
I didn't read fairy tales, I watched them.”
12. • There was no passion for it. No passion for
anything. Just a quiet, kind of floaty, kind of
semi-oppressive, blank palette that you`re
living in.

14. • To freely express yourself as an artist there are a few things you need to do.
1. Be yourself, don’t be afraid to be shot down because your dream didn’t live up
to someone elses expectation.
2. Dream like a child, they are actually the wiser because their minds have not
been altered.
3. Always have heart in everything you do.
4. Draw what you feel, not what you see.
5. Even if your ideas are outlandish, draw them and keep up your skills for that
style, they will pay off in the long run.
6. Inspiration is key, keep up with your inspirations and allow them to help you
inspire others.

If there is one thing to be said about director Tim Burton and his fingerprint in animation today it is that his mind is so extraordinary that it makes most mundane scared of his art, his passion, his life and I would like to take this time and explain who he is in character personification. Even if you’ve only seen one or two of his films you can tell his work immediately by the art style and contrast to the Dr Seuss meets Goth Culture appreciation. His filmography includes work so unique that the styles show the demographic but most all of it is done in a light adult way so that children may enjoy the quality of his work too. Listing from “Vincent - 1982” to “Edward Scissorhands - 1990” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas - 1993.”Very few directors today can put their creative stamp on material as clearly as Tim Burton.
His background as an animator explains some of the amazing imagery in his movies, which carry out his personal style as if he'd drawn them from emotion itself. Frustrated with being labeled childlike or stunted, he rightfully points out that his movies deal with life or death situations, which bring up a very Shakespearian playwright. They are fairy tales for adults and children with everyday themes blown up to operatic proportions.
