The Brothers Quay

14/10/13

We learnt about the Brothers Quay who were American stop frame animators and were commissioned by channel 4 at one time to create a documentary about Svankmager. He however, did not want to take part in it so they produced a puppet version of him instead.
Most of their animations are quite minimalistic when it comes down to the plot.
The animation we watched was called Street of the Crocodiles. I found this animation rather unsettling at some parts but it was incredibly was made. The sets and character were stunning but I was slightly confused at what the plot was. One part that caught my attention was when a number of screws span in the dust but the dust did not move at all. For only the screw to move and not disturb its surroundings is absolutely incredible.
