Now this is great news. Henry Selick, the director of films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline , has been struggling for some time to get a new stop motion movie off the ground. Back in , it was revealed that he was developing a stop motion movie called Wendell And Wild , that would feature Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.
It came from an idea Selick had himself, but again, the project seemed to hit the buffers. However, now we have much better news, as Netflix is set to back the project and move it forward. Director Henry Selick's insistence on hand-made detail is refreshing in this era of CGI, and the result is an avalanche of extraordinary eye candy that takes Selick's previous work on Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach to another level of wonder.
The movie opens February 6th until then, the website is quite impressive. How long did you spend working on this, from the beginning up to now? How do you stay balanced during such a long, detailed process?
And I sort of make it a point to develop my abilities, to zoom in to minutia and zoom back out. I was pretty strict about trying to step back, showing things to trusted friends pretty regularly to get feedback. You know, find some balance there. So is Coraline the first 3D stop-motion film? They actually did a post-production process about two years ago on The Nightmare Before Christmas which was pretty effective. Coraline 's the first stop-motion shot in 3D. Basically CG [computer generated animation] came along and derailed 2D and stop-motion pretty much for feature films until more recently.
You know, Toy Story came along and was astonishing; the technology and the story was shiny and new. But after this many years of CG it seems the audience likes a variety of things on their menu. When you were trying to get this project off the ground, did you have to overcome any pressure to do it just as a CG film?
We went through many iterations. But all along I was sort of writing it as an animated film. I also feel really strongly about puppetry and stop motion animation and even hand-drawn animation over CG. And that world of cutting things out of wood and molding things in plastic and machining things in metal It certainly seems that once we get to that point in CG, then everything will be fine.
I forget which film it was, but I think it was ILM wanting something to transform to something else in live action. In one year they were using it to update car models and ads and it was commonplace. But they are real things. And you have to work a little; you have to participate in making the magic happen. What advances does Coraline make, even in terms of advances from your previous stop-motion films? Some of it was simply paying even more attention to detail.
We have miniature sweaters and clothes. I understand this was the first stop-motion film that uses something like actual hair, instead of something that was painted on or attached. FAQ 7.
