“There have recently been posts online featuring the work of artist Paul Julian (1914-1995). I’ve gathered some examples into one big post.

Tell Tale Heart Animation

The following 5 recreated pan BG’s are from the 1949 Warner Bros short BAD OL PUTTY TAT with Tweety and Sylvester.

According to julian :
“Backgrounds are used both to stage the character and stay behind the character”
“I did a great deal of special design stuff that I kept hidden and various kinds of staging, taking liberties with perspective, and doing what I could to keep the audience’s attention directed toward the main animation with as much elaboration as I could put behind it. I tried deliberately to build the space around the characters so they were, in effect, working in a kind of tunnel…”
