You know I loved the movie Coraline when it came out. The 3-D version was lovely, still can't forget the fireflies. I even admired the plastic figurines that were available.
However, what I loved the most about the film is that it was stop motion and therefore, every little prop or costume was real and hand made. Here is a great interview with Coraline's costume designer, Deborah Cook from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) Museum's blog. Enjoy!

ReplyDeletei just re-watched this movie the other day! i love all the little bitty clothes and such. i like fantastic mr. fox for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the interview -- it was fascinating! (I tried three times to leave a comment there, too, but seem to have failed.)
ReplyDeleteThe movie is marvelous, but I had no idea how much work went into the costumes, or even that they were essentially created like miniature clothes.
