Quay Brothers Animations

Eleanor recomended that i look at the work of Steven and Timothy Quay. Iv just watched an interview with them, i think theyre twins and are seriously wierd, the same clothes and mad professor haircuts etc.... i love their work though, most of its so sinister and twisted, they seem to have a thing about dolls with no eyes and setting them on fire, but not in an excessively gory and trying to shock kind of way, its really dark and atmostpheric, and they use music effectively aswell, almost like a dialogue in itself, adding to the sense of drama. The 1st link above was done for the BBC, and the idiots rejected it, i cant understand how, its a 3d paper sculpture animation, really quite elegant.
