Comingsoon.net has a great interview with Henry Selick, the director of the upcoming feature film Coraline.
Long before the novel became a success, director Henry Selick, whose groundbreaking work in stop-motion animation made Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas a perennial classic, was working on adapting the novel as his next project. It took many years before Selick was able to get the movie off the ground, complicated by the fact that the director wanted to make this the first stop-motion animated feature film to be shot and projected using the latest 3D technology. With Dakota Fanning providing the voice of Coraline and Terri Hatcher as both her real mother and the evil “Other Mother,” Selick began what would end up taking almost eight years to complete.
While the interview starts out with alot of information about the source material, about halfway through it gets into more technical information like the tradeoffs between Stop-Motion and CG, shooting in 3D, and more.
