“The style of this stuff is a little different than work | do on my own, mostly because it's done as a step in the process rather than just to make a picture. These drawings have to be applicable to a set that is going to be used for alot of different things, so you can't

“The final concept for the real version of Bobinsky’s attic flat ... With the help of my friend Morgan Hay, who was assistant art director on the movie, | built a half-scale mock-up of the space using foam core so that Henry could look at it and we could make spacial adjustments on the fly. After Henry approved the layout of the attic, | took a picture of the mock-up and painted this concept on top of it to establish the lighting and feel.”

“The Other World version of Bobinsky's attic. It's viewed from the same angle as the real version so that it's easy see how the real world props translate to the Other World. A priority in creating the Other World sets was to try and take the real world props that inhabit the sets and make fantastical versions of them to populate the Other World. 1 think this set best

illustrates that idea.”

THIS PAGE Artist: Michel Breton

“With the design of these props, 1 tried to give Bobinsky some history that is never explicitly stated in the film by making them seem like relics from a distant

past he may have had working in the circus.”

“The Fantastic Garden was designed

first so the geography of the real garden is almost identical, which is why this one still resembles Coraline's face. But you never see it from this angle, so it's impossible to notice in the film.”

“The general idea was to figure out what plants would fill out the rest of the garden behind the featured plants. Some of them are based

on early Tadahiro designs, others are based on plant rigs the rigging department had already come up with. They

generally had to be the colors that would make

up Coraline's face for the reveal at the

“They used a lot of blacklight paint and LEDs with fiber optics to create the different lighting illusions in the flowers, so it was hard to predict exactly how the colors would turn out, but 1 think the final result looks pretty close.”

how the final product would look, since every part of the design had something crazy going on with it, like the glow of the furniture and

“Stop-motion puppets require a huge amount of work, time and planning to come to fruition. The sculpting process ts the same, but the foundation of the character/ puppet building process ts the maquette. That is the beginning. You have to know how the puppet will work once it is finished, even before it has been made. After that, a puppet sculpt is done based on the maquette and is engineered so it can function properly as a puppet and pave the way for the rest of puppet fabrication processes. It's like working in the present and in the future at the same time.”

“Coraline's gloves and the base shape for her blue star sweater were knitted flat by a miniature knitter on tiny needles, then the sweater was lined with latex to ensure the duplicates maintained the same shape, then hand-sewn onto each puppet, as were the gloves. The stars were hand-cut from several selected layers of ‘fabric bonded together to create the right level of iridescence and added afterward. The sweater had its own ‘map’ for the stars, again to maintain consistency

among the duplicates.”

“The differences between working with peop leand working with animated characters is the scale of ‘fabric needed; the movements are pretty much within the same range.

The fabric in animation is very subtle and finer and has to pass as ‘veal’ within its own smaller world. Peop le-scale fabrics look very chunky and thick and impede and mask the tiny movements and gestures the puppet characters make as well as looking very unreal and colossal

on their tiny bodies.” —~Deborah Cook
