Rendition Toward Books Burton on Burton

A revised edition of the only book to explore the unique brilliance of director Tim Burton's work, including a new chapter on the making of Sleepy Hollow.

Still only in his thirties, Tim Burton has established himself in the past fifteen years as one of the great visionaries of film. With the Batman films, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood, and, most recently, Sleepy Hollow, he has continually broken new ground both visually and thematically, exploring the dark anguish--as well as the dark humor--that animates many of his characters while also creating a densely textured, sometimes bizarre look specific to each film.

In Burton on Burton, Burton talks to Mark Salisbury about his training as an animator at Disney, the importance of design in his films, and the recurring themes present in his work. In this revised edition, he also discusses the influence of 1950s sci-fi and 1970s disaster films on Mars Attacks! as well as how he conceived his highly stylized approach to the content and setting of Sleepy Hollow, his acclaimed retelling of the Washington Irving story that stars Johnny Depp, perhaps the actor most identified with Burton's work. Enhanced by stills from the films, storyboards, and illustrations of set designs for all his major films, Burton on Burton provides insights and information about the man and his work, throwing light on both his unique artistic vision and on the extraordinary films that have been the result.

Crit Out Of Books Burton on Burton

This was an interesting insight into the films of Tim Burton. Yet like with all directorial focus there will always be films you are more interested in hearing about. As Burton's films are very hit or miss the films I loved liked Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice were engaging sections whereas other films kept me less engaged.I especially liked hearing about Burton's background in animation and how his early years at Disney helped shape his artistic mind-frame. Yet alot of sections and

This is one of my favourite reads ever, I am a big Tim Burton fan so to have the pleasure of reading about him and his past was a opportunity I couldn't turn down. I loved to see where he come from and the story of each film he created, is life is far from boring and he really puts everything into perspective. I love that I could relate to him in the terms of being a weirdo and outcast but he explains it all and makes you value this in some ways. The book is created in an interview so you get a

Fascinating insight into a modern-day legend of cinema. Funny and honest, a must-read for Burton fans everywhere.



Great book. Obviously outdated (it only covers up to Ed Wood), but it covers Burton's "golden age" in my opinion. Burton is very straightforward and gives some interesting insights. He seems like a relatively normal person who just happens to like monster movies. He also is genuinely humble, and seems like he downplays these genius films he's gotten all this acclaim for.I just finished a book on Stanley Kubrick, and much of his interviews were him addressing critics' comments on his movies. He

Fantastic insight into the themes and designs of a great modern-day visionary, just dont expect to learn much about Burtons personal life in this book.

I was given this book back in high school, when I was obsessed with Tim Burton. That obsession has since waned, but I still very much enjoyed reading this because it was less a play-by-play of Burton's life and growth, but focused more on his filmography, on the experiences working on particular films and his own perspectives behind characters and stories. That was a unique perspective, especially for things like Sleepy Hollow and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, movies which I never totally
