Terry Gilliam’s DIY Animation Show
Posted on August 5, 2011 in General Production | 3 Comments
In this video Monty Python animator Terry Gilliam discusses his animation techniques on Bob Godfrey’s Do-It-Yourself Animation Show on BBC1. The show encouraged children to do animation; each episode had established animators talking about their work and different animation techniques. The series has subsequently been acknowledged by a new generation of animators, including Nick Park, as a significant influence on them making animated films.

Wow, they just showed a bare breast on a children’s TV show…
Boobs brought me in, Gilliam kept me interested.
I love Terry’s accent. Every tenth word is posh English :)
And Bob Godfrey lets him talk! In a modern show, the host would never get away with not talking for 14 minuyes.
Who were the other animators on this show? Was Ray Harryhausen keeping his secrets quiet back then?
