The Surprising Invention of Mystimation and its Marvellous Travels - A Video Essay on Karel Zeman

A video essay adaptation of my Masters of Animation exegesis 'From Zeman to Gilliam: The evolution of Mystimation'. Please view more of my work at www.emmettredding.com This video explores the work of Czech film director and animator Karel Zeman and the animation techniques he pioneered. Zeman’s combination of stop motion, hand-drawn and cut out animation with various optical special effects, dubbed ‘Mystimation’, has had little academic discussion. Yet, Mystimation is a stated influence by film directors internationally who have adapted and evolved these techniques. This video provides an exploratory introduction to Karel Zeman, traces the influence Zeman’s body of work has had on filmmakers and contends that not only is Mystimation a recognisable and continual style of filmmaking, but also that filmmaker Terry Gilliam is Zeman’s most recognisable successor. Within this video I compare and critique footage and audio from the following works: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 1988, Film, Columbia Pictures, United Kingdom, United States and Germany, directed by Terry Gilliam.
