T IM B URTON By, Jada Renae Gr. 7/8 Arts Ed. Ms. Deck

TIMOTHY B URTON Timothy W. Burton was born on born August 25 th, 1958 (53 Years old. :D) & Still alive to this day. Tim Burton is a film director. Of course you must be familiar with his work. The Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, & of course, The Nightmare Before Christmas. You are recognize his work right? He made a compilation of his drawings. Called The Art Of Tim Burton.

T RAINING & D EVELOPMENT Tim Burton has graduated from CalArts in 1979 and shortly after has been hired at Walt Disney Productions’ animation studio. He worked as a concept artist for other cartoon animations such as The Fox & The Hound & The Black Cauldron. Tim's artistic themes didn’t really go well with the Disney style, and Tim usually worked on his own stuff.

S TYLE T ECHNIQUES Tim Burton’s style techniques were like a dark, quirky themed. He has made a lot of movies that are dark and involve the dead or Halloween themed movies. Like, Ghosts, Goblins, Witches, Vampires, Skeletons, etc. There are a lot of movies that involve death-like material. :)

C ORPSE B RIDE :) One thing I like about Tim Burton’s movie Corpse Bride is that it involves the other world like when we all die, have you ever wondered where you went? Like you must go somewhere. But this movie is about a man who screws up his first marriage. Victor Van Dort, he is supposed to marry Victoria Everglot. But instead he screws up his vows. He runs out nervously and marries a Corpse!!! Who knew? But in order for Emily & Victor to get married Victor must drink poison & RISK HIS LIFE! Will he do it? danny_elfman.htmlhttp://batlyrics.com/remains_of_the_day-lyrics- danny_elfman.html Remains of the day

T HE N IGHTMARE B EFORE C HRISTMAS Of course you must recognize The Nightmare Before Christmas featuring Jack Skellington & Sally the Rag Doll. Jack is feeling tired of feeling the same thing over and over for the same holiday, “Halloween”. He ‘accidently’ opens a portal door with a Christmas Tree on it... Oooooo :) LOL! You’ll have to watch it if you want to find out watch Jack Skellington is up to ;)

E DWARD S CISSORHANDS I like how the family treats Edward like a normal person. & Takes him in and treat him like a family member. But, surprisingly Edward falls in love with the families teenage daughter Kim. You know what they say. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Don’t Judge :D

W HAT APPEALS TO ME MOST. The thing that appeals to me most about Tim Burton is his theme. Like he LOOVES to make movies about the living dead. Or like super heroes. I find all his movies cute. Like all his movies have a lot of imagination and creativity. The movies he writes have humor, & are very adorable. Maybe you should watch them

A PPEAL 2 :) Tim Burton is often misrepresented. He could act as silly as he can and still be known for a dark personality. Which is kind of not cool. So I think we should just let people be who they are. Tim Burton is a pretty awesome guy. I know I have not met him. But I hope to meet him someday

A PPEAL 3 This is one of my favourite Characters. His name is Stain Boy. Created by Tim Burton of course… Stain Boy’s first appearance was in a couple short poems in book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories. Then later on, he appeared in a short animation. Stain Boy works for Burbank police. At the beginning of every episode he is supposed to bring in a social outcast. Many outcasts are from the book Oyster Boy.. The List of Episodes 1."
