CORALINE OPENS FEBRUARY 6th!!!!!!


I will post art soon , but first things first...FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6th- CORALINE OPENS IN THEATERS EVERYWHERE! Back in 2006 Henry Selick invited a group of us to join the team that would Create LAIKA Studio's first feature film , CORALINE.We Immediately knew this was special. The film and the studio took risks! The team Henry compiled was not to be believed , and I was honored to be a part of it. Shannon Tindle , Dan Krall, and Myself , would be responsible for the FINAL CHARACTER DESIGN in the film. (Kent Melton and Chris Butler had much to do with the final stages of Other Mother as well). After having designed so many of the characters in the film, I was then asked by Henry to continue to design and develop the Facial Animation (expressions and dialogue) for the head replacements of every character in the film, even producing many 2D animation tests along the way. The BEST stop motion team in history took what I did and went to town! (Below are some I worked with closely)More of the Coraline team I worked with closely,(most of who's work sadly can not be seen in any book) include...
-VIS DEV :Dan Krall, Shannon Tindle, Chris Appelhans, Jon Klassen, Andy Schuhler, Stef Choi
-SCULPTORS : Kent Melton, Damon Bard, Leo Rijn, Tony Merrithew, Scott Foster
-STORY: Chris Butler, Andy Schuhler, Vera Brosgol, Graham Annable, Mike Cachuela , Ovi Nedelcu
-MODEL BUILDERS: Mike Murnane , Charlie Daniels , Fon Davis
-PUPPET FABRICATION: Georgina Hayns, Jill Ahllstrand
-ANIMATION: Anthony Scott , Trey Thomas....AND MANY MORE!!!!!!!!GALLERY NUCLEUS in L.A. has a CORALINE PANEL DISCUSSION planned. And apparently the CARTOON ART MUSEUM in San Francisco is having a CORALINE EXHIBITIONshowing a lot of the art department's work along with Puppets and Sets. So that's rad. Bottom line: Coraline is an incredible achievement on so many levels. This is the kind of film most people (especially in animation) say they want to see more of (or at least work on)- A more adult, edgier, unconventional animated film. Coraline follows no convention. Henry has created a new fairy tale film language. We need films like this to succeed, because I for one want to work on more like them, and so studios like LAIKA can CONTINUE TO TAKE RISKS. So please people! GO SEE CORALINE FEBRUARY 6th !!!!!

Awesome dude, we can't wait to see it!! So is an "Art Of" book not planned?

Blogger SHANE PRIGMORE said...

Thanks guys, Now go see it opening weekend!!!

Mukpuddy-

A book entitled "CORALINE , A VISUAL GUIDE" was released a couple of weeks ago , and they chose to not show anyones work but Tadahiro Uesugi's environmental designs , old character explorations that were never used in the film , and costume explorations that were done after we had already designed the final characters. None of the character designer's work appears in the book...Nor does any of the incredible environmental and set design or sculptures and story boards that the Vis Dev team and Story team produced.

Very sad.

Hi Shane,

I just stumbled onto your site...sure was great getting to work with you on 'Coraline'. Hope to work with you again soon!

Hey dude, thanks for the comment back!
That's quite unbelievable about that 'visual guide' book and to have no Art Of book is a huge missed opportunity, especially this day and age when every CG animated film has one and with so many talented peeps working on the film... lame!!
I'm sure that it'll happen one day bro, Nightmare eventually got a pretty cool one!!

Hey Shane, Things look great. I'm glad that the project came together nicely. I was wondering what program you work in for illustrating - trying to branch out a bit from PS - or if it's PS you're using, any cool tool suggestions? Check me out when you get a chance - tell your friends! www.freshsmoores.blogspot.com

Hey Shane,

Caroline looks SA-WEET! Can't wait to see. Hope it kicks butt at the box office!

I know Christmas is over, but I'm a Christmas nut, so thanks for the nice comments on "Big C little a" re: my snowman illo. I did a similar version of Santa for my folk art blog... http://hartercountry.blogspot.com/. Thinking (hoping) it will be used for a box set. If it does I'll send you one!

Happy Birthday, Shane!! Wow, I think you're older than my husband. Weird! We really want to see Coraline and it would be fun to see it with you. I think the last movie we saw together was The Three Musketeers!! So are you free that weekend?

Hey Shane,
I just checked out the exhibit at the Cartoon Art, and wanted to commend all of you on an amazing job. Those puppets look incredible up close, and the drawings on display are fun and inspiring. The book released in conjunction with the film really does poor service to the work you guys put into it.
I can't wait to the those puppets move Feb 6! Congrats on the great work!

Hey Shane--

Saw the exhibit at the Cartoon Art Museum on Saturday--AMAZING STUFF!!!!

As excited as I was to see the movie before, now multiply that by about 100 billion.

Looks fantastic man! Can't wait to see the finished product.

I'm glad everyone is excited!!! Alot of the crew just went to the L.A. industry screening last Wednesday. Holy crap ,it is just incredible.

I need to get up to the Cartoon Art Museum to check out the exhibit as well! Its good to hear that it is actualy cool! GO SEE IT !!!!


SEAN MOORE -
It's just basic Photoshop. I just use every basic bare bones tool. I am not smart enough to create , or download new brushes and what not.
