Quay Brothers Return to Philly for First North American Exhibition, Film Festival Award

Norristown-Native Animators, University of the Arts Grads Have Developed Global Cult Following
PHILADELPHIA (December 8, 2008) – Quirky, dark and moody has worked well for identical twins and Norristown natives Stephen and Timothy Quay. Their global cult following knows them better as the award-winning, London-based Brothers Quay, stop-action animators and graduates of The University of the Arts.
For the first time in North America, original sets (décors) from their films will be on display in the exhibition "DORMITORIUM: Film ‘Décors’ by the Quay Bros.” at their alma mater’s Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, February 27 – April 9. Part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebration of its College of Art and Design, the festivities will include a reception with the brothers, and a presentation of the Vision Award for extraordinary achievement in filmmaking in conjunction with Philadelphia CineFest on April 3.
The décors in the exhibition range from the brothers’ critically acclaimed “Street of Crocodiles” (1986) to “The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes” (2006). The exhibition also includes décors from “The Unameable Little Broom” (1985); “Stille Nacht I (Dramolet)” (1988); “The Comb (From the Museums of Sleep)” (1990); “Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies” (1988); “The Cabinet of Jan Svanmajer” (1984); “Rehearsals For Extinct Anatomies” (1988); and “The Calligrapher” (1991). After its run at the University’s Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, the show travels to Parsons The New School for Design in New York City in the fall and Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Va., in the fall.
“Street of Crocodiles,” based on the short novel of the same name by the Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz, was selected by director and animator Terry Gilliam as one of the 10 best animated films of all time, and critic Jonathan Romney included it on his list of the 10 best films in any medium. “The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes” – a dark fairy tale about a demonic doctor who abducts a beautiful opera singer, with designs on transforming her into a mechanical nightingale – is the brothers’ second full-length feature film.
The Quays also directed an animated sequence in the 2002 Oscar-winning film “Frida,” starring Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina. Their first feature film, “Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life” was released in 1995. Their third feature, based on Schulz’s “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass,” is in pre-production.
They have built a cult following making dark and moody films, mostly on or influenced by Eastern European film, literature and music. Many feature partially disassembled dolls and generally have no meaningful spoken dialogue. Their work has been impacted by an array of disparate influences – from Polish animators Walerian Borowczyk and Jan Lenica to writers Franz Kafka and Robert Walser; from puppeteers Wladyslaw Starewicz and Richard Teschner to composers Leo Janácek, Zdenek Lika and Leszek Jankowski.
Born and raised in Norristown, Pa., the brothers graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art (now The University of the Arts) in 1969 (Stephen with a degree in film; Timothy with a degree in illustration) and promptly moved to England to study at the Royal College of Art, where they made their first film. During the ’70s, they spent time in the Netherlands and returned to England to team up with fellow Royal College alumnus Keith Griffiths, who has produced all of their films, to form Koninck Studios in 1980.
The University of the Arts is the nation’s first and only university dedicated to the visual, performing and communication arts. Its 2,300 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs on its campus in the heart of Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts. The institution’s roots as a leader in educating creative individuals date back to 1868.

A clip from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace I want to use for my facial animtion module. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a parody of 80s TV, and is the brainchild of Garth Marenghi; a fictional author played by Matthew Holness. The show in question is set in a hospital where in the first episode the gates of hell are opened and the following episodes are based on supernatural events that occur as a result. The show is split up with intermittent interview segments with the fictional actors and this was one of my favourite, because of Garth's complete conviction to this absurd view.

I bet you'll never guess why I made the arms blue. :P
This is a still image from my animation, it shows Lavan climbing the mountain. The Sun is shinning behind him, the clouds are moving across the sky. The brown coloured mountains contrasts well with the light blue sky and makes the rope and Lavan stand out. The clouds have slight outlines which make them standout as well. The Sun flashes slightly to show that it is indeed up and shinning.

This short snippet of a much longer film animation was inspired by Aardman's Creature Comforts, it was made for Comic Relief 2011, by children from the ICT club I run. Copies were sold in school today for £2.00 each, and have raised £300 so far. The children interviewed staff asking an assortment of questions and then animated each as a different animal. The Head Teacher was a Lion, another a snake, fish, penguin etc...lots of work but also lots of fun.
If you enjoy this and not paid or donated PLEASE make a contribution to Comic Relief tonight. Thank you.

Way behind on this project...can I get it done?
Maybe a better question would be...will I get any sleep before the 15th?

I used Photoshop to import the 4 images. I copied the three other images each in a new layer in the first file. Each frame just shows one layer, the other layers are hidden.
After that i aligned the four images so the image doesn't jump from one place to another. To do this i made the top layer transparent, and temporarily made the bottom layer visible.
After this was done, i copied frame 3 and then frame 2 after the first 4 frames, so it seems to loop.
The original "movie" was 10MP (now that's HD Full2535 ;)), so i thought it was a good idea to crop and resize it ;)

The logo is different; the music is re-orchestrated and the boy is surrounded by clouds as he flies up to the moon behind them. When he lets go of the balloons to sit on the moon with his fishing rod, we get a close up of it. After a couple of seconds, the "DreamWorks Animation SKG" logo text fades in below the moon. After a few more seconds, Skipper hits the boy and drags him through the moon! A fight can be heard and soon the penguins appear together, Skipper catching a fish with the rod saying "Well done, boys. Looks like ice cold sushi for breakfast!" They all do their high-fives.
OMG, I did it, lol XDD
Here is my very very first hack for sims 2: rock and metal animation box!
I made some serious mistakes, but I just wanted to try myself in game content creation XD
Now my dreams came true: my sims now can shake with their heads on scene, play keys standing (loooool, so wrong and stupid animation) and make some other things : ))
Here is it (shame shame shame):
