Warner Brothers Fine Art - Tim Burton's Corpse Bride - Til Death Do Us Part
|
|
|
In this image taken from Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, Victor and the Corpse Bride cross the town bridge in not-so-marital bliss, with Scraps in tow. Burton’s strong use of detailed facial expressions, show the shock of Victor, while the Corpse Bride, though wary, still looks content with her decision to have him as a groom.
Corpse Bride combines the very old medium of puppetry and stop-animation photography. Each puppet is comprised of internal gears, which give them their on-camera fluid mobility. It took 6 years to complete the film.
Tim Burton’s other directional achievements include the first Batman movie, Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Burton’s execution of Corpse Bride offers a very interesting contrast between the world of the dead, which is conversely vivacious and carefree, against the dark and brooding existence of those in the world of the living.
The theme of Corpse Bride comes from a 16th-century Jewish horror story, when anti-Semites murdered Jewish brides on their way to the altar so as to prevent the brides from marrying and bearing ongoing generations of children.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated the Corpse Bride for Best Animated Feature for 2005. |
