Jan Svankmajer is a surrealist animator born in 1934 and has inspired many of todays stop motion animators. He has gained a reputation over the years for his surreal and very creepy films that he creates where he combines pixilation and Claymation. Svankmajer tried to demonstrate a moral within many of his films. People may not understand his films much but when watching closely, there's a deeper meaning to the film, which is what surrealism tends to do. The films he creates are quite gory and horrifying and some may be funny. He uses a lot exaggerated sounds to create some strange effects to create a surreal atmosphere for the audience. Svankmajer tends to use the technique of speed change in his films to increase tension for the audience and create a terrifying atmosphere. Through stop-motion animation, Svankmajer makes inanimate objects come to life in his films.
His films are very disturbing to watch but interesting at the same time. The different techniques he uses keep the audience glued to watching the film as they want to know what might happen next. His work is very imaginative.
