Breaking news – story developing: The World of Tim Burton is hitting London, UK for the first time, and Bored Panda received exclusive access to review the highly anticipated exhibition which will be open to the public on Friday (October 25). The major exhibition includes 600 items from Tim Burton’s 50 years of creative output, some of which have never been on public display in the UK before. The iconic filmmaker spoke about his process and technique during a Q&A on Wednesday, October 23.
In response to some burning questions, the filmmaker shared that he wasn’t very “verbal” early on and used drawing as a way to express himself. He described it as “therapeutic.”
He recalled that when he first drew his beloved character, Jack Skellington, he didn’t even know what it was at the time. It was simply an expression of his self-consciousness, evolving into something akin to a “puppet.”
