"ParaNorman" - Laika's next stop-motion animated film

I've spent the last thirteen months of my life working on this film, and I gotta say that I haven't been this proud of the work that I've been doing in quite some time.

The teaser trailer went live today:

Yahoo! Movies: ParaNorman (2012)

The trailer can also be seen in select theaters before Puss in Boots starting today, and will also be shown this holiday season before Hugo and The Adventures of Tintin... and apparently it will also be attached to the next Twilight film as well.

That is beautiful.

Were you an animator?

Model maker - the model shop being a department of the set shop. It was our job to create "the world" that everything takes place in.

Gorgeous! I'm so glad that stop-motion still gets made, in this world of CGI. You and your shop have done an incredible job, by the looks of it.

Coraline and Nightmare are 2 of my all time favorite movies, and specifically because stop motion is so amazing. Great job, I can't wait to see the movie.

Re: "ParaNorman" - Laika's next stop-motion animated film

It's taken hundreds of people over a year and a half to get this far, and the animators are still hard at work.

As you might imagine, stop-motion is a rather time-consuming and laborious process, but my god does it look beautiful There have been some shots that even *I* have been amazed by. Believe me, I'm right there with you guys in saying "I can't wait to see it!"

Re: "ParaNorman" - Laika's next stop-motion animated film

And now the official site is up:

http://paranorman.com

About that Instagram link (the third icon after Facebook and Twitter). It could be just me, but I can find no visible way to navigate to the other photos.

I actually created an Instagram account this morning (using a co-worker's smart phone), and it's also accessible online through Webstagram - I can see all of the pics that way. They have some cool shots up, and I'm guessing they're gonna keep adding pics until the release. So do what you have to do to access that Instagram site - there's neat stuff to be seen.

Re: "ParaNorman" - Laika's next stop-motion animated film

I just came across the trailer yesturday and I am very excited to see more. I am a huge fan of Coraline and am excited to see Laika's next stop-motion film. Whish I could stop by Laika and tour the sets and model department to see all the stuff you guys are making for the film.

I have to say I'm impressed with what I've seen thus far. You and your crew definitely created an interesting "world" for this type of story.
