Stop-motion animation goes high tech at Laika 

Always want to ask this, what's a kardashian?

Because they actually have some talent.

They are a family that became famous because of some trashy reality TV show, Kanye West is married to one of them.

Agreed

YES TRUE

They probably go a bit slower than the other movies, have better equipment (so that the puppets don't move if someone accidentally bumps them a wee bit too much) and have a *lot* more faces to exchange. There is some cgi involved of course, but if you remember the skeletton at the end, it seems like some of their puppets (when there aren't any subtle changes in expression) can be moved by a computer and filmed like that. So it would end up being pretty smooth. Like the guy in the video said though, they pretty much have to reinvent the wheel every time they change studios. Stop motion animation isn't very widespread in popularity and you're probably thinking about some old movies that either didn't have the budget, the time or the ressources to iron out the little jarring bits. Yeah, it was awesome to see the skeleton move. I knew it was stop motion from the start, but I was still awed every second of the film to see how well it had been done!

DestinationMan Ooh cool. That would certainly help as well XD

Have you not seen Corpse Bride? That is a full puppet animation as well! XD

With the technology we have, they can smooth it out to make it less susceptible that it is stop motion... which is quite awesome by the way.

A great content. I agree.

+Win Doe I a agree

+Papa Apple I a a agree

+Alonso Mancini i a a a agree

thought the same thing

Aardman Animations of Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, Shaun, Timmy are still at it.

Take a look at the LEGO stop motion community (which I am part of), then you'll see it's definitely not dead!

+LegoNinjaFan studios Aaaaaaaand there's one!

#stop motion lives on >:3

A measly 3 dislikes is practically nothing on this channel

+Rejoy Panakkal 30 now

30 dislikes compared to the 100 times more likes is still nothing

u did this u destroyed perfection

That's what I love about Laika's films. They use minimal CGI.

Same

Yeah,I like how they for the most part keep the films good old stop motion.Cgi is pretty cool too though.

you must be young

+Duc Tran No the movie looks like a cgi film I don't know know what me being a child has to do with any of it.

+Narno Wibowo stfu

Zachary Goddard Thank you!

The artbook for Paranorman is a million times better than the one for Kubo. I got the two and I regret getting the Kubo Arbook, it mainly contains digital art unlike Paranorman where it has more concept arts, actual puppets and sets.

justtoday x

Caudex ok *BLINK BLINK BLINK

yes, yes, and just yes

There called PUPPETS

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool

lol

One could only wish for it to be like that

Gravity falls reference? XD

Jonathan Himmelfarb gravity falls reference?

Miming Meows probably why I wasn't able to see any movie posters in cinemas of Kubo

but the reward of the finished product and hopeful success is worth it. These guys are the most patient people you can find.

+Rachi Siders Also, don't they get a lot of money doing it?

+Jacob Smith I would think so when you put in that type of effort and quality. You're getting paid for something you love and probably did as kids for free. Win win.

I believe the estimate laika said was it took about a week or two for each animator to make 3 seconds of film. That is insane.

+PixelElvesGaming for 3 seconds? I didn't think it was that long though. Wow.

I saw it (early screening) and all I can say is good luck to the other animated movies this year. It's a clear favorite in my opinion to win that oscar for animated pictures. Score : 9.8/10

+Roxy Scarlette For me its an 8/10. The script is good, but it could be even better. Beside this, the animation is a pure bless!

while it certainly is an excellent piece of art, IMO it is not the best animated feature this year. it is emotional and can shed tears more than once, but overall there are plenty of holes left unexplained, even if you're into samurai and some Shinto elements. still. a good tale nonetheless. my bet is on Zootopia for 2016. that is if Moana doesn't turn out as awesome.

It was really good

they want to make sure it makes money

but are still a private, in-house production studio.

thats why they making a stop motion animation, because "Just Do It!"

Fun fact Laika founder, CEO and Kubo's director Travis Knight is the son of Phil Knight who is Nike's founder and CEO.

--Some good seed money in there. Mmm, wonder if there's a NIKE ✔️ mark hidden in the film somewhere #EasterEgg

WeAreMovieMakers there not founders if they created it

THE CHIPMUNKS MOVIES CAN GO DIE. (I'm sorry there are just too many and they got old when the second one came along.)

var1328 it really doesn't though...
