1974: TERRY GILLIAM on CUTOUT ANIMATION | The DIY Film Animation Show | Classic clips | BBC Archive 

I love the cut-outs. I think the limited nature of the animation makes them funnier - Arthur and his knights grovelling before a fed-up God is funny, Arthur and his knights grovelling before a limited-animation image of W G Grace is hilarious.

Gilliam has an entirely different definition of the word "easy" than I do...

His animations were always my favourite parts of Monty Python

MPFC wouldn't have worked without Terry Gilliam's cutout segues. It freed up the writers from having to write a final punchline or any narrative closure. MPFC's off-kilter randomness of skit-animation-skit changed comedy forever.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING A STUDENT-FRIENDLY VERSION OF THIS :)))

This particular animation was my favourite of his. I remember watching it as a kid and being horrified by it!

Gilliam's sense of humor makes me ROTFL. And with the computers we have today, this kind of animation is much easier. I've done it.

20 years before flash animation, one of the original greats!

Bob did Pre-Gilliam Cut-outs.He also did Roobarb and Custard, Henry's Cat and was actually involved in the D-Day Landings.

3:50 "be silly with your walks"

A great animator and a legendary director!

Terry Gilliam! Amazing…. Brazil, Baron Munchausen…. What a flexible imagination! Creativity at its best!

Take notes. True genius giving tips here. Unabridged

9:20 "I have to push the pramalot..."

Absolute legend and inspiration :D

Showed up for the cut out animation tips - stayed for the sides of that shag haircut 😂

Loved this. Nice to meet the man behind the animations.

I’ve been a fan of Bob Godfrey for so long. Films like Happy Birthday Switzerland, Henry 9 To Five, Karma Sutra Rides Again and the Oscar-winning Great. Not to mention happy memories from my childhood of Henry’s Cat, Roobarb and the advert for Trio bars. I also adore Gilliam’s style. Two stories, one involving Gilliam. Gilliam once said in an interview about Godfrey that when he first came to the U.K. he tried to get a job at Bob Godfey’s studios. He showed up with a portfolio of his art. Bob looked through the portfolio and just said”Bugger Off!” One of the animators in his studio (it may have been Spud Houston but I really don’t remember) recalled Bob when he returned to the U.K. after collecting the Oscar for Great. He had cycled to the studio at night whilst drunk. When everyone turned up for work in the morning they found him asleep on the doorstep with the bike pulled up over him like a blanket with the Oscar under his arm bent the Oscar, not his arm).

Amazing footage! Thanks!

1:38 lmao

Genius

I think someone stopped by the BBC bar before going on telly. Either that, or Terry had some really good dope.

Disappointed we didn't get to actually see the finished animation.

I suspect the makers of South Park may have seen this at some point...

Love the quality of the video.

... No VHS Recorder, if You didn't see Your Program... You're just going to have to wait until the Internet Appears... OOOH WE'RE HERE!… GOOD-OH 😂 4:31

This is really good for advice for parenting hiarchies in After Effects and Character Animator.

Terry Gilliam, creator of nightmares.

A CLASSIC skit from the Python ANFSCD made for USA movie. So much better all done by hand. CGI is too .... perfect.

Drinking game: Take a shot every time Terry says “Cut-outs”.

Now ill be a skorseeze/ kopolla

... and now for something completely different...

And YET this brilliant dude couldn’t imagine doing Watchmen with Quentin Tarantino doing Kill Bill IN TWO PART geez 🙄

In my opinion the less polished an animation looks the cooler it comes off. After all it just looks goofy.

🍇🍇🍇 ... and Now for something Completely Different

What about copyright .?

tune in tomorrow, when w.s. burroughs exhibits his cut-up technique

Ye Olde Photo Bashing :-)

Couldn't do that today, you'd get sued.

The Nazis really were quite ridiculous weren't they. 😂

fascinating stuff would love to know his thoughts on digital, doing all this with photoshop/after effects etc a slightly longer version, including the final animation, but lower quality, is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KOqcHCEqO1k.html

Digital animation is overrated.

He's American just like John Cleese's ex wife

Photoshop, before photoshop...

This is very silly.

BO-RING.
