Artist of the Week – Variety Hour with the Soundtrack for The Nightmare Before Christmas
by Samuel Febres
This week’s Artist of the Week is more Theme oriented since there is no one particular artist but a variety of artists that are on a special edition disc of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. I assume the reason/theme is obvious.
The artists are doing their version of some of the more popular songs from the movie. Two songs are identical but done by different artists. I think it’s neat to see their different interpretations. I also find Sally’s Song by Fiona Apple to be exceptionally beautiful.
This is one of my favorite movies and a nice little trivia to know about it is that it took over 3 years to create. It was created using stop motion animation, which means that every frame of the movie was shot one frame at a time. That means that for 1 second of the movie = 24 frames, or 1,440 individual “snapshots” to equal one minute of film. That is amazing to me.
