Animation Research.

The animation artist i have chosen to research about is Tim Burton.
Originally, he was born and raised in California.
He was born in 1958, making him 54 years old today.

Throughout his career, Tim Burton has worked with many actors, artists and directors.
Whilst working with Henry Selick, he produced The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.
His most famous works are filmed with Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp. Together, they've made and co-produced these films:
Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Alice in Wonderland, and Dark Shadows.
Burton has directed 16 films and produced 12, as of 2012.

To produce these films, he's worked under Walt Disney animation studios.

One of his most famous creations is Sweeney Todd.
This film is about a barber serial killer who murders his customers with a razor.
His accomplice Mrs Lovett, helps him to bake meat pies out of the bodies of his customers.

The style of animation he works with is dark, yet funny.
My favourite films of his are Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow and Dark Shadows.

I chose to investigate this artist because his films are really good, i like how dark they are, and funny and i like the style of animation he uses in his films.
