A trio from Portland, Ore.-based animation studio LAIKA showed on Wednesday how the studio continues to infuse the century-old art of stop-motion with new digital technology and techniques in its upcoming The Boxtrolls. The presentation was made during the CG confab Siggraph at the Vancouver Convention Center.
The company started to move toward this “hybrid” (stop-motion augmented with CG) approach to animation with its first two features, Oscar nominees Coraline and Paranorman. And, according to co-VFX supervisor Steve Emerson, “this is the one where we refined it.”
