According to the presentation before the broadcasting of movie, different characters should be showed in different scene and different time, so that they have produced large number of puppets and faces rely on the time of the puppet is showed. I have head what Mark Shapiro said, there are almost about 40 people working together every day, which for pose puppets and shooting, lighting, change faces, make up and process material, beside, the studio was heaped abundant of tools, material and drafts. Watch that form now, everything is worth.

 

Stop motion

Stop motion is how this movie conducts and which way to indicate. Obviously, stop motion is a type of shooting in movie, which has been formerly used in cartoon at most, and at present, it is used in animation to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own.  Stop motion is the main shooting technique in Paranorman, but surprisingly, the mature shooting skill that they have, which can be saw through it has been produced by stop motion. That is really appreciated.

CG is the biggest technical part of digital art, which including 3D modelling, colour rendering, light rendering, model rendering, and initial simulation of model. And this technology is the second most using technique in this movie, including the rendering, cloud, effect which is the other excellent aspect beyond puppet making. Especially is the effect about the colour of cloud and rendering, sharply elevates the atmosphere of entire movie. In the aspect of after effect, CG also assists importantly to elevate the whole spirits of this movie.

As the Christiana Paul said: “Digital art is a general term for a range of artistic work and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the process” (Paul, 2006). Digital art is the biggest area of digital creative production in nowadays, which includes diversity of our lives such as Game, Movie, Advertisement, Education, technical development and many aspects of lives. This technology is appointed to the draft, initial painting, scene painting and a series of design work of this movie, which considerate for the later puppet making, scene and effect, which are the important beginning of movie.

In the aspect of emotion, the effect of ParaNorman is very professional which cause of the plot of stories is fluent and reasonable, and the personalities of characters are distinctive. Apart from the vision of movie, the spirits are deeply attracting audiences as same as what is attracting me.
