stop-motion animation style had always been the filming techniques I felt detached to thus I never truly sat down to watch any film that had this method or if I had in past don’t remember. and As I grew up I realised how much an ignorant brat I was. the oddness I felt was the true charm something that C.G. cant imitate and hand-drawn come close yet fall short. the fact that we can feel that their characters and their motion were done meticulously in every frame and yet immerse our-self to the motions is what truly accentuates this technique, giving us a rare glimpse when the audience can understand the effort it might have taken to execute a scene.

one day as I sat and looked through top animated film list my eyes fell on Coraline, I never watched this film but had noticed its presence in a lot of list and discussion I tend to surf through. thus thought why not tackle this and see how its fare and can it ignite my interest for stop motion.

well it did and what’s more the film was dope.

the hits of the film for me had been the eccentric characters and how they were animated added to this the fact stop motion has an inherent oddity to it that gets brought out so effectively to induce a sense of unease that works wonders to the theme and story. seeing how the film is a dark fantasy horror it suits, and imagining it in other mediums would not have expressed that surreal yet uneven aspect this effectively.

as the film ended and I closed my laptop I, went to thoughts about this film and the stop motion genre as a whole, had this movie made me a believer had its preaching touched my soul. Nah nothing that major its a good film and the techniques has its definite merit, all I need to know is I enjoyed thus I am now eager to see more of this stop-motion.
