The LAMBs in the Director's Chair

Event #14 starring Terry Gilliam
February 18th to 20th, 2011


DAY ONE

Hey everyone it is D.J. Heinlein from the blog site Matte Havoc here to present to another installment of The LAMBs in the Director's Chair series. For those who were not aware of his American nationality, I will enlighten you that Terry Gilliam was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 22, 1940. I begin with this simple introduction to debunk any notion or myth that he is British born. This correlation is often based upon the animation and directing work he did for the Monty Python comedy troupe during the early portion of his career. Because of his background in animation and illustration he has proven to be an extremely visual guy. His eccentric character of a personality is further displayed in some of the animated works that he has produced. Working for Mad Magazine and the English television show Do Not Adjust Your Set may be further evidence of his unique perspective on storytelling. In the first day of a three day series we will be having a broad look at his career with a couple of editorials in addition to one particular website article that dares you to state your preference on Gilliam’s earlier works versus his later works.
