Jan Svankmajer

Mainly recognized for his 2 most popular movies Alice and Faust Jan Svankmajer's work has been one of the major inovative roots in stop frame animation. The Brothers Quay, Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Toro have all agreed he's been an influence in their work. He's gained a reputation for his nightmarish surrealism and his distinctive way of using stop frame with sound. and fortunately a lot of his shorts are on youtube! here are a couple favorites of mine. enjoy
