  • Terry Gilliam - the film director, cartoonist, screenwriter, animator, actor, comedian and Python - shares some his patented cutout animation tips and techniques, under the watchful eye of Bob Godfrey. The "arch idler" of animation shows you how you can get maximum effect for minimum effort. Now you too can make your very own Monty Python sketches.
    This clip is from The Do-It-Yourself Film Animation Show, originally broadcast 5 May, 1974.

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

    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.

      i totally agree... it's the epitome of a quick thinking and deep saddled frame of mind, utilising limited labour in a way of expressing a thousand different messages in moments using juxtaposition, extraordinary plateaus of historical, movie and classical art frames of exposure to light and movement. who wants to spend their lives appreciating the work of 30 'art school trained' cheaply paid incels who spend their lives doing 'proper animation'
      the real art! ruclips.net/video/AEZPabeh5U8/видео.html

    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.

    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).
