monty python

As some miight be aware of an early post of my attempts of a monty python style animation, i do quite love the 2D photomontage animations thingys that monty python flying circus created. There have been many different companys trying to re-create these styles. There have been tv adds etc, which have copied the style, and always pull off that kind of, 'olde' look to it. Im not sure what you wud call it, but i call it genious. Obviously the newer animations, that come from the origional monty python animations, from Terry Gilliam, are very clean, and in the desperate housewives intro sequence, there is that escence of 3d, mainly due to after effects 3d engine. I like how it is replicated, and modernised, but at the same time, it is a shame cause i like 2d-ness of the monty pythons animations and the highly absence of 3d really does make it extra unique.

I agree with you on the point you made about the 3d animations not being as sucessful, i definatly think that Gilliam's 2d style is better but maybe he just wanted to experiment.. just because the technology to encorporate 3d is available to him i'm not sure its beneficial that he uses it, his 2d work is much more powerful.
