Tim Burton is an icon in the world of goth and peculiarity, a symbol to the young community for no hiding you individuality and showing the world that you don't have to follow in everyone else footsteps. Known for his work on The Nightmare Before Christmas (my all-time favourite), Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice and Frankenweenie.
Known for his work with what are essentially toy dolls that he has designed in his signature creepy style. Burton was primarily inspired by Harryhausen in his way of models - this inspired Burton in 1971 super-8mm short featuring cavemen and dinosaurs. Burton's animating style is often described as 'crude elegance' - so realistic its unsettling.
Burton also uses music a lot in is work as he has said before that the music can give something life - working often with Danny Elfman.
Below is a short clip from Corpse Bride, a tender scene of the two lead characters, Emily (the Corpse Bride) and Victor playing a duet on the piano.
