We Are Suffering From A Glut Of

This Golden Globe Nomination Is Sweet Validation For The Years Of Hard Work It Took To Bring Coraline To Life Using Stop-motion Animation With The Greatest Crew Of Animators, Artists, And Technicians I've Ever Been Privileged To Work With. I Share This Nomination With All Of Them And We All Share Our Thanks To The Hollywood Foreign Press.

I Love All Sorts Of Animation, Probably The Most Beautiful Would Be The Tradtional Hand Drawn Animation That Disney Is Known For. Stop-motion Has A Certain "grittieness" And Is Filled With Imperfections, And Yet Their Is An Undeniable Truth, That What You See Really Exits, Even It If Is Posed By Hand, 24 Times A Second. This Truth Is What I Find Most Attractive About Stop-motion Animation.

We Are Suffering From A Glut Of Too Many 3-d Movies And Not Enough Screens.

What I Personally Gravitate Toward Tends To Be Fantasy, Medium Dark - Not Too Dark - Fairy Tales And Sci Fi. Stop-motion Takes Something On The Page Thats Really Dark And Adds A Little Sweetness To It, A Living Toys Realm.

Having To Make A Blockbuster Every Time Puts Unhealthy Pressure On Creatives. The Pressure On The Filmmakers Is So Intense, I Think It Stifles The Creativity.
