I always wondered how those were done. He’s brilliant. This shows the unique visual genius that guides his eye as a director.

OMG! Terry Gilliam was 'Next-level' AF. In fact, what he did THEN has not been topped since. Hes a genius. As you watch his animations, you have no idea what is going to happen next. Brilliant!

I love how Terry is breezing through this stuff explaining how simple and easy it is, not seeming to realize what a god-like magician of an animator he is.

This is so fantastic, these used to make me cry laughing as a kid and I still find them hilarious now. It's interesting noting the things that really define his style (the black edges around the cutouts) were a necessity and not a creative decision. Thank you so much for uploading this.

This is awesome. Amazed at what Gilliam achieved and the great thing about is it's not technical limitations that can prevent someone at home doing this but creative ones.

If you haven't done so already, download and install GIMP, Krita, and Shotcut. They're all free, and there are plenty of videos on KZbin to help you learn how to use them. You can use GIMP to "cut" images out of photographs, import them into Krita to animate them, and use Shotcut to assemble your scenes into a complete film. As complex as this seems, it's still a LOT less labour-intensive that physically cutting images out of paper, and constantly lifting and lowering the hold-down glass and photographing individual frames.

@@GetRealwithMike Maybe you could do "Washington throwing a dollar across the Potomac," with George folding an airplane out of a paper dollar (with his own image on it) and ask your students, "What's wrong with this picture?" Anyway, best of luck...If you do enough of them, why not start a "Flat Broke History" KZbin channel...?

I wonder if you can actually get away with this nowadays... it’s a lot like sampling in hip hop, back then you could create whole records entirely from samples, but you don’t hear that anymore because EVERYTHING is copyrighted, trademarked, licensed. It would cost you $millions to make a ‘Paul’s Boutique’ or ‘Endtroducing’ these days I would imagine.. I love collages, I’ve got a 3 foot stack of magazines just for that purpose, but I don’t think I would ever attempt to make money off them in any way because I’d get slapped with 27 different lawsuits for every picture I made.. If I’m wrong here I would love to know, because it’s really a beautiful art. And Terry Gilliam was a master of it, I really love that he did this segment here because his animations have always blown me away.

Thankfully, when it comes to copyright in visual arts, it's not even nearly as strict as in music. As long as the work is transformative, i.e. being clearly different from the source materials in any way, it's ok to use any publicly available material. Doing something like this would be just as fine as making a collage.
@gvd724 жыл бұрын
Nils Skogman I agree I think you might be fine. Another way to get away with it is to draw/print the images yourself but that would make the process longer.
@godofspacetime3334 жыл бұрын
Nils Skogman Interesting. I imagine the word “transformative” is pretty subjective in a courtroom, but, like you say, that’s still a lot more lenient than in audio sampling. If that were the rule in music then “Bittersweet Symphony” wouldn’t have been an issue at all, but in actuality Keith Richards is getting every dime of the proceeds from that song..

It's because there's so much money involved now.
@OrangeDog203 жыл бұрын
Samples are still pretty huge in music, and there are many that take whole melodies (Feel it Still, Anaconda, to name two). It's usually negotiated as royalties so there's no upfront cost, just a proportion of the income.

After watching this, I want to do an animation in the Terry Gilliam style on my own, perhaps for my next film. It might be called "August Toepler's method for calculating square roots on mechanical calculators". I think an animation in that style is possible for that topic. 😉

Yes. For body parts like legs he didn't have, he cut them out and, along with the torso, backgrounds et al, he gave them shading to create a 3D look. You can do that in Photoshop with the airbrush or special FX by beveling edges.

He was the only American in the group. He didn't (or rarely?) got speaking roles on the TV show, so you wouldn't really remember any non-Brit accent from watching them. In the Holy Grail movie, one of his roles was King Arthur's "horse" -- the guy banging the coconuts to simulate the sound of a horse clomping along.
