The Quay Brothers
Brothers Stephen Quay and Timothy Quay are esteemed filmmakers, film directors and animators. They are identical twins most famously known as both either Brothers Quay or the Quay Brothers. Indeed their collaborative stop-motion animations are extremely well known for the ways in which they have been influential to the field.
when the brothers first moved to London from the States, their stop - motion films had introduced an entire generation of viewers to the lyrical darkness that was not often associated with animation. This was heavily Influenced by the Central European writers and artists reflecting the dark psychology resulting from a century of industrial warfare, and surrealist art. they have been heavily inspired by figures like the Polish killed by a German Nazi officer Bruno Schultz, it is also noteworthy has also influenced other famous noted individuals such as film director Tim Burton and the American-born British screenwriter, Terry Gilliam.
It is quite difficult to distinguish between the brothers on who exactly in the pair that make. as they are both deeply spread across the media industry, although by looking at their individual trade, one skill that separates them slightly is that Stephen has done acting on top of everything else.
In their later series of work, the Brothers have expanded on the use of stop - moton filmmaking by icluding it within live choreography involving installation, and even ballet. In there piece the Sandman, a televised ballet starring the Spanish prima ballerina Tamara Rojo and the Soviet-born dancer Irek Mukhamedov, the image-movements of puppets are reproduced in the jerky staccato forms of the dancers.
