The Art and Making of ParaNorman

By Jed Alger

From LAIKA, the studio behind the hit film Coraline , comes another marvel of stop-motion animation and creative storytelling. For ParaNorman , LAIKA's team of artists and animators built and brought to life a miniature town, a horde of zombies, and a quirky cast of characters to tell a tale of a boy with spooky talents who must save his hometown from a centuries-old curse. Featuring the amazing and detailed artwork that went into the film's creation--from character sketches and concept art to puppets, textiles, set dressing, and 3-D printed facial models-- The Art and Making of ParaNorman goes behind the scenes to explore the exacting, exciting steps that are achieved frame by frame in this newest LAIKA masterpiece.
