Two men that also helped create classics are the Quay brothers, Stephen and Timothy Quay studied
illustration and then attended the Royal College of Art in London, where they started to make
animated shorts in the 1970s. These two brothers had a shared interest in the small details, they
created their own mini sets making sure they add in every color and texture, the technique being
immense detail. Their models also had the same treatment having been built exactly how the
brothers wanted, then moving the models and the set together to create their animation. Most of
their animation films feature puppets made of doll parts and other materials, often partially
disassembled set in a dark, moody atmosphere. This style much like Tim Burtons was new to stopmotion and helped drum up interest, having a big impact on stop-frame history.
If you haven’t noticed animation can come in many forms, it isn’t just friendly cartoons and Morph.
People can add their own spin to it and create quite dark and gritty movies. This content can end up
anywhere, many people use stop motion in music videos due to its interesting and impressive look
same going for people using it in adverts. Many TV shows still use stop motion mostly being kids
shows like “Shawn the Sheep” created by Aardman Animations and especially in film like “The
Corpse Bride” made by Tim Burton. Animation isn’t just set to one genre; many people enjoy stopframe animation but it’s downsides are mostly time based. Broadcasters have even gone as far as to
have some channel indents include animation, so it’s easy to see how animation is spread across a
lot of media.
