About the Moviemakers page 33 3 Synopsis Combining the visionary imaginations of two premier fantasists, director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Coraline is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful adventure that honors and redefines two moviemaking traditions. It is a stop-motion animated feature – and, as the first one to be conceived and photographed in stereoscopic 3-D, unlike anything moviegoers have ever experienced before. Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is a girl of 11 who is feisty, curious, and adventurous beyond her years. She and her parents (Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman) have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline tries to find some excitement in her new environment. She is befriended – or, as she sees it, is annoyed – by a local boy close to her age, Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.); and visits her older neighbors, eccentric British actresses Miss Spink and Forcible (Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French) as well as the arguably even more eccentric Russian Mr. -

Le Film D'animation En Volume
Le Film d'Animation en Volume Histoire, Techniques et Mise en Pratique Histoires et techniques Essai de décomposition du mouvement (-2500 ans avant JC) Des fouilles entreprises dans les années 1960-1970 sur les ruines de Shahr-e Sokhteh en Iran, ont mis au jour un vase en terre cuite décoré de cinq vignettes qui représentent les phases du saut d’une chèvre attrapant le feuillage d’un arbuste. La Lanterne Magique - 1659 En 1659, le physicien astronome Hollandais Christiaan Huygens, fabriqua une lanterne magique dans son cabinet d’optique : une boîte, dotée d’une source lumineuse et d’un jeu de lentilles. La lanterne magique est l'ancêtre des appareils de projection. Elle permet de projeter des images peintes sur des plaques de verres à travers un objectif, via la lumière d'une chandelle ou d'une lampe à huile. Précinéma À la suite des travaux des encyclopédistes, ces philosophes de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, les recherches scientifiques sur les phénomènes optiques en général, et en particulier sur la perception visuelle humaine, ont poussé au XIXe siècle les inventeurs à diffuser des « jouets de salon », ce que l'on appelle le précinéma. Ils s'appuient sur le principe de la persistance rétinienne et l'effet bêta (c'est la capacité du cerveau à identifier deux lumières clignotantes, éloignées l'une de l'autre, comme étant un seul objet lumineux qu'il croit voir se déplacer) 1825-1830 - le Thaumatrope, inventé en Europe conjointement par plusieurs chercheurs. Disque pivotant sur lui-même, à deux dessins recto-verso. 1868 - le Folioscope, inventé par l'Anglais John Barnes Linnett. -
3.3 the CHORA Line: Reald Incorporated
3.3 The CHORA Line: RealD Incorporated BY CAETLIN BENSON-ALLOTT What the majority of spectators seem to want and value from animation is not a gloss on “metaphysical effort” but rather . “metaphysical release.” —Vivian Sobchack, “Final Fantasies” Be careful what you wish for. —Coraline Before Avatar (James Cameron, 2009) grossed $2.7 billion in worldwide ticket sales, Henry Selick’s Coraline (2009) was widely hailed as the best 3-D movie ever made (“Avatar”). By offering uncanny adventure “for brave children of all ages,” Coraline bestowed digital stereoscopic filmmaking with artistic and cultural prestige, affirming exhibitors’ and cinemagoers’ growing interest in digital projection. Film distributors were already sold; for the previous eleven years, they had pressured exhibitors to adopt a digital delivery and projection system and abandon expensive celluloid prints. They also wanted exhibitors to pay for this technological overhaul even though the theater-owners did not foresee any recompense in replacing their existing celluloid projectors with digital substitutes. RealD gave theater-owners a reason to convert when early experiments in polarized stereoscopic image projection, including Chicken Little 3D | 1 3.3 The CHORA Line: RealD Incorporated (Mark Dindal, 2005) and Beowulf 3D (Robert Zemeckis, 2007), demonstrated that more viewers would come out—and pay more per ticket—to see movies in digital 3-D.[1] Subsequently Coraline, Up (Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, 2009), Avatar, and Alice in Wonderland (Tim Burton, 2010) launched a genre of high-profile, high-concept digital 3-D movies and confirmed that RealD projection can be exceedingly profitable for all involved. Ironically, the spectatorial pleasures of digital 3-D cinema are nowhere near as clear as the profits, although scholars have now begun to explore what value this third dimension adds to the spectatorial experience (see Elsaesser; Higgins). -
