Stop Motion Capture
June 22, 2007 10:01 AM | 0

 

Animation Magazine wrongly reports that the new Tintin movies will be filmed in stop-motion. That would be awesome, if it was true -- lush, extravagant stop-motion is the perfect medium for Tintin. But sadly, they'll be using mo-cap instead: the uncanny computer-follows-human style that's never as expressive as keyframe animation and never as natural as live-action.

Tintin actually has seen life in stop-motion before -- the extremely hard-to-find 1947 film "The Crab with the Golden Claws." What a lovely DVD release that would make.
