He animated shorts that Gilliam created are organic pieces, moving along with a twisted purpose. The actions of the animation may appear outrageous to the viewer but the objects performing these actions do them in a logical and completely realized (for them) way. This only renders them even more absurd. Each object and action are unrelated and yet related to the animation preceding it through some sort of (often-incidental) link. An item in one scene (say a car) will play a background part and then open up to be the lead for the next scene. He often creates fully realized stop motion colleges full of images that may seem unrelated to each other but are in fact part of a larger action.

If you really watch a Gilliam animation, you'll pick up the incredible detail he layers his frames with. This detail helps tie all of the pieces together while providing a richness to each individual segment.

Another mark of Gilliam's animations is that they often focus on the macabre. He underpins his animations with a dark undertone (using skulls, monsters, etc.) to provide the viewer a sense of uneasiness and to heighten the disorientation that the animation may invoke. The actions of theses (macabre) films still elicit a smile but it's a smile tinged with nervousness.

Terry Gilliam's work often includes a wide use of mixed media from illustrations to collage work hand rendering images to create a surreal image and story. He is most famous;y known for his animation work in Monty Python, creating images of fairy tales and combining reality with fantasy, testing ones sanity.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
To celebrate the 40th anniversary theatrical re-release of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' and the release of the 40th anniversary Blu-Ray, DVD & limited edition castle gift set we've put together this video of Terry Gilliam's lost animations from the film.

Terry Gilliam is an American-born British screenwriter, film director, animator, actor, comedian and member of the Monty Python comedy troupe. He provided illustration for the Monty Python comedy animation show. His work is regarded as surreal and random, having a distinctive look not only in mise-en-scène but even more so in photography, often recognisable from just a short clip; to create a surreal atmosphere of psychological unrest and a world out-of-balance, Gilliam frequently uses unusual camera angles, particularly low-angle shots, high-angle shots, and Dutch angles. Roger Ebert has said "his world is always hallucinatory in its richness of detail." I feel that his style relates to my artist well and will be successful in presenting my artist on the front cover of my digipack.

I have decided to research surrealist artists and their work for inspiration. I would like to include illustration and imagery on my digi pack that portrays a surreal style to my audience.
