Paranorman Trailer: Amazingly cool stop motion animation
on March 3, 2012 at 3:00 amThis Paranorman Trailer looks like really great stop motion animation and a fun zombie comedy. I really liked the movie Caroline and this is made by the same people so I have high hopes that this will be a great film.
I’m a huge fan stop motion animation, but I’d really like to see a behind the scenes look at how this was done. How much of it was done with traditional stop motion techniques and how much is computer generated graphics.
At least the zombie designs look pretty good. And Check out the rockin poster below.
The stop motion zombies look great. I can only hope that they don’t do Paranorman in 3D as I’m getting terribly sick of 3D. I’m not buying anymore of those stupid glasses. 3D graphics looked moderately okay on Caroline, but the problem is they direct the focus of what you’re looking at. A couple viewings of a movie and I just like to check out the background art. With a 3d movie that’s going to give you a raging headache and since I wear glasses they are a major pain to get on my glorious head.
Also It’s also nice to see supernatural zombies for a change, I’m pretty damned sick of viral zombies and I don’t think viral zombie lend themselves well to a zombie comedy. For some reason horrible diseases that turn people into the living dead just don’t strike people as funny.
Now necromancy and curses, that’s comedy gold! If I could raise the dead I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Paranorman Trailer. Norman, better known as Para Norman is a misunderstood and weird boy who can speak with the dead, takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse. ParaNorman is LAIKA’s follow-up to their Oscar nominated Coraline. Coming August 2012.
Posting this here as there seemed to be some troubles with Contact page’s writing section… Animation looks promising by the way. Somehow reminds about Corpse Bride.
But back to main subject..

Basically school kids have made zombie short movie situated in local library.
Most interesting part of this is still that clip is showed in Finland’s national public-broadcasting company’s net-feed under section of “Learning and Science” – alongside documents like dealing skin-cancer etc.
So, that is pretty solid start for the boys.
Hopefully enjoying.

That’s pretty cool. I didn’t understand a word they said, but I wish I had access to a camera like that growing up.
Kids these days have way better toys than I ever did.
