I came across this goodie thanks to a chance meeting last night at Zack’s Pizza with a group of students from UC Berkeley’s Siggraph chapter!
This is a Q&A that happened last month over at the Mountain View campus’ of Google. How I wish I had been there to ask a few questions from an animation perspective that I have noted every since seeing Paranorman. Questions that I hope to et answered as soon as I can convince the chairs of the animation department to invite in a team from LAIKA.about the rapid prototype, facial animation, and puppet fabrication departments; mainly how the pipelines work in tandem.
Directors Anthony Stacchi & Graham Annable however, discuss the making of Laika Animation Studio's latest stop-motion film, The Boxtrolls, in detail followed by a live Q&A. This event was moderated by Kevin Vlk.
