You can see the detail that went into casting, molding and making of necessary parts like hair, clothing, metal armature, furniture, and just about everything in the world of ParaNorman. Photos of the tables where they keep working tools are great. There are countless brushes, screwdrivers, pincers, threads and an assortment of instruments whose purpose you can only guess. The lengthy commentary covers the production process and explains how stop motion films are made nowadays.
It might not be surprising to discover that they also use 3D printing for creating props. It's a nice art and making-of book. Recommended to fans of animation, stop motion and the film.

The Art and Making of ParaNorman feels like a studio tour as Jed Alger charts the progression of the film's production. Then it's on with the tour, with a look at the different stages starting with 'Welcome To LAIKA' then onto the creation from original idea to physical puppet, building the puppets, the sets, the special effects and meeting the people behind the curtains.
It's a really interesting look at the process of what goes into making a film, even more so with stop-animation, because of how much detail is put into the production. And another welcome addition to my library of movie art books. Mar 07, Chris rated it really liked it.
This is the second "Art of They're definitely one of my favorite studios all around, and I can't wait to get a copy of the "Art of Kubo. If you have any interest in how stop-motion animation is made, this provides a great overview to the ridiculous amount of work that goes into these short films.

Even more, they're sure to giv This is the second "Art of Even more, they're sure to give some great "behind the scenes" shots for you to see the scale and scope of what these folks are working on. The only reason I docked a star is for the writing itself. It's functional, for sure, and it gives solid explanations of the process of creating this film.
However, it simply feels functional, going through the steps to explain each portion.

It just didn't "click" on a higher level for me. It's not bad, by any means, but it felt a bit forced, as if it was trying to hard. Still, this could definitely just be me. In the end, it serves as a great intro to LAIKA and the process of stop-motion through this wonderful film. If anything, I'd definitely recommend starting here, then moving to Boxtrolls, then Kubo, as they do seem to build on the ground they cover in this process. Jul 28, Adriana rated it it was amazing Shelves: From the how the story came about, to how each individual element you see in the movie came to be.
Every aspect of the making of this movie is touched in one form or another with tons of images to illustrate. Stop-motion animation is an art of love, with e Wow!
