Paranorman!

Paranorman is on my list to watch 'cause I love Coraline. ♥

Facts:

• It's stop-motion animation!
• Replacement Face animation is used as well, which is cool 'cause it makes the whole process easier to just make each of the faces the characters would make and simply swap them out when needed.
• Apparently, it's very rare to have close up scenes/shots in stop-motion animations.

Comments:

• Considering that stop-motion is a difficult animation style, it also is unique because it allows someone to work hands-on on the artwork, aong with someone wrking behind a computer screen and actually making sure the animations are smooth.
• The hole idea of Replacement Face animation is incredibly smart. It makes it so much easier for someone to physically animate the characters without having to change their face each time.

Question:

• Why do people want to use such a difficult animation process? Or is it actually easier tha computer-generated animations?
