ParaNorman at Comicon

Directors Fell and Butler explain the challenges of stop-motion.

Fell: ... You have to start with a blueprint. You have to make the film once with drawings and temporary sounds. You’ll spend a year doing that together.

Butler: You have to do it that way because the process is so slow and expensive. You have to know every show before you start it.

Fell: Yeah, if those 300 people arrive and you’re not certain, and you’re saying let’s move the camera here or there. They’ll kill you and the producers will kill you.

On a semi-related note, DreamWorks Animation has finally admitted to a future production:

During their panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the studio’s CCO, Bill Damaschke, confirmed that Kung Fu Panda 3 was indeed on the way, though it wasn’t announced when we might see the trilogy-maker. The 2008 original made $631.7 million worldwide, while its sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2, made $665.6 million, making the decision to roll again quite easy. ...

Like, was this a surprise? To anyone?
