Stop-Motion Secrets with ParaNorman Animators | LAIKA Archives
-
Laika has some of its animators revisit their work on Paranorman. And show off how the puppets work, how the rigs work, their method, and memories.
Like most other animation, stop motion takes hours of delicate, deliberate work. And then animation starts, and there is more of that. And these are some of the people doing that work.

This was an amazing short. Wonderful story. Great movement. Love the colors.
And yet another great use of not-hansom features, like #ParaNorman.

The remaster of Paranorman was good. Really fun. I knew the story was more than about the seeing ghosts stuff. But I really liked where the story went.
I liked these characters. But I love how #Laika crafted this small town. It felt so familiar.
The Thrifting was fun too. Some fun moments. Really well done. But it was too short. Wish it had more time.
Cinema 3D has never done it for me. A few moments, yea. But not all.
