In retrospect: the Genius of Terry Gilliam.
The British animator, director, writer, and actor Terry Gilliam (most popularly known for his unique style of animation on the series Monty Python’s Flying Circus, and for directing films such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Brazil) had developed a style of stop-motion 2D animation unparalleled by any other animator.
His style is completely surreal and spontaneous, as he takes combinations of cutouts from random photographs, drawings, and scraps of paper—turning them into entertaining and bizarre masterpieces. His style is easily recognizable, and deserves a great amount of credit for his painstaking frame-by-frame pioneering.
Terry Gilliam manipulates what was once recognized as something uninteresting and mundane, mutilates its context, and brings it to life in fantastic juxtaposition.
