Coraline

Would be very surprised if you havnt heard of Henry Selicks new film Coraline, but for those who havnt...



Watching the trailer for Coraline something immediatly jumps right out at me and thats how distinctly CG the film looks. You may disagree with this, if so show this to a member fo your family and see what they think it was done in, i can pretty much guarantee they will say computer. I think one of the main reasons for this is all the movement is so damn smooth (though in some places lacking a believable sense of weight)

Analysing it now the more i look at it the more it does look like conventional puppetmotion, but when first seeing it, it does look CG. Makes me wonder how much more puppetmotion could be achieved and if the outcome is so CG why not just make the film in CG, im quite surprised the producers didnt insist upon this given the staggering technical aspect of this film, for example one of the puppets wigs (long blonde) is made of over 5 miles of thread!

Am really looking forward to this film, it really looks like a nice refreshing dark story (the first person who says Tim Burton style gets punched in the face)

Checkout the films website theres already some really cool making of films in the Theatre section.
