  • Artist of the Week - Variety Hour with the Soundtrack for The Nightmare Before Christmas

    Jack Skellington

    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.
