Tim Burton Retrospective in The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

Published

on

The Museum of Modern Art presents Tim Burton, a major retrospective exploring the full scale of Tim Burton’s career, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sallyboth as a director and concept artist for live-action and animated films, and as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and writer.

On view from November 22, 2009, through April 26, 2010, the exhibition brings together over 700 examples of sketchbooks, concept art, drawings, paintings, photographs, and a selection of his amateur films, and is the Museum’s most comprehensive monographic exhibition devoted to a filmmaker.

An extensive film retrospective spanning Burton’s 27-year career runs throughout the exhibition, along with a related series of films that influenced, inspired, and intrigued Burton as a filmmaker. Tim Burton is organized by Ron Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, and Jenny He, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Film, with Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film, The Museum of Modern Art.

The exhibition is on view throughout the Museum: the Special Exhibitions Gallery on the third floor features hundreds of drawings, paintings, sculptures, sketchbooks, and moving image works.

Downstairs, in the Museum’s Roy and Niuta Titus Theater Lobbies, a selection of largescale Polaroids created by Burton is joined by a selection of domestic and international film posters from his feature films, while musical compositions specifically chosen for the exhibition by Burton’s longtime collaborator Danny Elfman plays over the gallery’s speakers.

In MoMA’s Agnes Gund Garden Lobby and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, a large-scale balloon and a deer-shaped topiary inspired by Edward Scissorhands are on view.

Mr. Magliozzi states: “While Tim Burton is known almost exclusively for his work on the screen, including Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton’s The  Nightmare Before Christmas, and more recently Sweeney Todd, this exhibition covers the full range of his creative output, revealing an artist and filmmaker who shares much with his contemporaries in the post2 modern generation who have taken their inspiration from pop culture. In Burton’s case, he was inspired by newspaper and magazine comics, cartoon animation and children’s literature, toys and television, Japanese monster movies, carnival sideshows and performance art, cinema Expressionism and science-fiction films alike.

MoMA’s exhibition draws extensively from the artist’s personal archive, as well as from studio archives and the private collections of Burton’s collaborators, and includes art  from a number of early, unrealized projects. Never-before-exhibited drawings, paintings, and film props, as well as virtually unseen films—including Burton’s 1983 live-action,  Asian-cast adaptation of Hansel and Gretel—and early student films, are on view.

Visitors enter the Special Exhibitions Gallery on the third floor through a spectacular three-dimensional monster’s mouth. Inspired by Burton’s unrealized film project Trick or Treat (1980), the entrance was created for the exhibition by TwoSeven Inc. Upon passing through the creature’s mouth on its red-carpeted tongue, visitors proceed through a corridor lined floor to ceiling with Burton’s signature black-and-white stripes, and a presentation of Burton’s The World of Stainboy Internet series plays on six large monitors. In the galleries the exhibition is organized in three sections, each in relation to Burbank, California, the city in which Burton was raised and the inspiration for much of his early work.

Tim Burton Retrospective

The film retrospective Tim Burton presents Burton’s entire cinematic oeuvre of 14 feature films, eleven of which are in MoMA’s film collection. These 14 feature films—Pee-wee’s Big Adventure(1985), Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989),  Edward Scissorhands (1990), Batman Returns (1992), Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Planet of the Apes (2001), Big Fish (2003), Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)—will be screened over the course of the five-month exhibition in the Museum’s Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, along with his early short films Vincent (1982) and Frankenweenie (1984).

Tim Burton. (American, b. 1958)

A director of fables, fairy tales, and fantasies with an aesthetic incorporating the Gothic, Grand Guignol, and German Expressionism, Burton has created a body of films marked by striking visuals, indelible characters, and a distinctive and uncompromised point of view. Organized by Ron Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, and Jenny He, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Film, with Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film.

Film trailers are a unique and exciting way to sell a film. They are often fast-paced and full of action, and they use a variety of sound effects to create an unforgettable experience.

As any film lover knows, the trailer is often the most anticipated part of the movie-going experience. In just a few minutes, a trailer must capture the audience’s attention and convey the tone and plot of the film. As such, an effective trailer needs to have a strong musical component. Fortunately, there are many talented composers who specialize in creating trailer music.

These composers are often able to create a sound that is both evocative and catchy, helping to make the trailer more memorable. Even if you are not planning on seeing the film, a well-crafted trailer can be enjoyable to watch. As such, it is no surprise that many of these composers have also worked on the ad or game trailers. If you are looking for someone to create an effective trailer for your film, be sure to check out Strongmocha. With their help, you can ensure that your trailer makes a lasting impression.

One of the most popular sound effects used in trailers is the trailer hit. Trailer hits are short, sharp sound effects that add impact and tension to the trailer. They are often combined with a pop song cover, creating a dramatic and suspenseful effect.

Trailer hits are just one of the many ways that film studios are pushing the envelope when it comes to trailer sound effects. With each new release, they are finding new and innovative ways to create an unforgettable experience for audiences.

Creating the perfect soundscape for a movie trailer is no easy feat. The goal is to pique the viewer’s interest and excitement while avoiding overused trailer sound tropes. A successful design will use a combination of music, sound effects, and dialog to create an immersive experience that accurately reflects the film’s tone and genre.

Executed well, the trailer’s sound design can be integral in drawing audiences into the theaters. When done poorly, however, it can cement the trailer’s place in the ever-growing sea of sameness. In either case, it is clear that designing movie trailer sounds is a challenging task that requires both creativity and careful attention to detail.

Creating a trailer may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. This blog post is here to help you through the process, from start to finish. First, you’ll need to determine the purpose of your trailer. Are you looking to haul heavy equipment or vehicles?

Or are you simply needing a way to transport materials from one job site to another? Once you know the purpose of your trailer, you can begin to look at different designs and decide which one will best suit your needs.

There are many different trailers on the market, so it’s important to do your research and find the one that will work best for you. After you’ve determined the purpose and design of your trailer, it’s time to begin construction.

This is where things can get a little tricky, but there are plenty of resources available to help you through the process. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out for help from a professional. With a little bit of planning and some hard work, you’ll have your brand new trailer in no time!
