the BAFTA Awards and Academy awards. His movies include the stop motion Fantastic Mr Fox and movies such as Moonrise kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums and the Grand Budapest Hotel which are in my lost of favourite films, this is mostly because along with enjoying the strange story lines and fairytale like characteristics at times with the characters personalities, its the way the film looks, how he frames his shots, how he keeps colour themes throughout. To me rather then just a film his work should be often seen as pieces of art.
He goes out of his way as an artist to get exactly the effect he wants such as in fantastic mr fox he chose to have the actors record their dialogue outside of a studio and on location to increase the naturalness in places like the forest, in an attic and a stable which just adds to the charm of his work.
Another thing i found really interesting about that movie and being an aspiring animator was the frame rate he used. He shot it 12 frames per minuet, although that is the minimum recomended if movement is want to look at all fluid within animation, most thing are shot no less then 24 frames per second to make the actions seem smooth. this meant that it had a very strange jumping effect with the characters and the movements they made.
Although i find the characters slightly creepy due to my feeling towards foxes, the characters are very charming even there movements. The puppets where created by Mackinnon and Saunders who are two people i would love to one day work for in the future if i was lucky enough to get into such areas of work.
