I’ve been researching a lot of animation technique’s lately for one of my projects, and one company I refer to regularly for ideas and inspiration is Common Craft.  They recently posted this video of Terry Gilliam’s Do It Yourself Animation Show, which is a great behind the scenes peek into how he created some of Monty Python’s animated sequences.

“…consider Terry Gilliam’s work on Monty Python, which doesn’t use video, but photos.  He was the creator of the colorful animations that became one of the most memorable parts of the show.  Here’s a video of him talking about his process in 1974.”
