CORALINE SNEAK PEEK WEEK – Day 1: Behind the Scenes of Coraline

20 May

Neil Gaiman’s fairy tale horror, “Coraline” is being adapted as a stop-motion animated film by Henry Selick, the director of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “James and the Giant Peach”. It is set to be released on February 6, 2009, and it’s the first stop-motion animated film to be shot in stereoscopic 3D. Here is a look behind the scenes of the film, with interviews from Selick and Gaiman, cast members including Ian McShane and John Hodgman, and all-new footage of Coraline! This video is first in a series of featurettes, presented exclusively by Rotten Tomatoes over the course of “Coraline Sneak Peek Week”.

CORALINE SNEAK PEEK WEEK – Day 5: Coraline in the Higher Dimensions

14 Dec

“Coraline” will be the first stop-motion animated film specifically designed for 3D projection. In this featurette, day 5 of Coraline Sneak Peek Week, the filmmakers discuss the process of shooting in 3D, and about how uniquely terrifying it is. The director, Henry Selick, has made a stop-motion film that later had 3D added (“The Nightmare Before Christmas”), but “Coraline” is shot specifically with a 3D camera. Stop-motion, since it uses real models, puppets and materials, is one of the most eerily real forms of animation there is, so 3D is a natural fit for Coraline. In this featurette, we’ll see just what kind of 3D tricks director Henry Selick and writer Neil Gaiman have up their sleeve!
