INTRODUCTIONS: Welcome to 'Til Depp Do Us Part!

A Tim Burton & Johnny Depp Film Pathfinder! Whether you are a film student, an art student, a film lover, or a patron looking for more Burton & Depp, this Pathfinder will set you off into the wonderful, dreamy world of Burton and the films he creates while working side by side in what is swiftly becoming an artistic collaboration like no other! Sometimes dark & sometimes quirky, something romantic and other time poetic, one thing is for sure: it's very nearly never like anything else you've seen. Both Johnny Depp & Tim Burton are a source of inspiration to film students, actors, and fine artists alike but beginning to research them and/or narrow down information to just the film collaborations with Depp is a unique challenge. Surely the collaboration between the two is edging show a large niche out in the history of films that it is our goal with this pathfinder to give you a place to explore and a way to start from scratch locating materials from films & periodicals to reference books & the internet. Keep in mind, with all our selections, it is only selected materials and we are in no way a source for ALL information Depp & Burton, but rather a stepping stone to get you started with basic resources. Please take a moment to read the scope as it will help you maneuvor this pathfinder, otherwise you're late for a very important date! Or in this case a date with a film librarian!

Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are a better way to narrow down a search within the catalog of LAPL for materials and can also help you when searching databases along with other information retrieval systems (e.g. Google). Dual searching between Depp & Burton can pose a confusing proposition, although if searching for both together it can narrow down your search to items tagged with both authority headings. To do this enter both authority headings in a single search. But be careful because it will exclude any titles that aren't about both solely and could greatly hinder your return when looking for particular books on either figure indivually.
