ParaNorman is a 2012 American 3D stop-motion animated comedy horror film made by Laika, distributed by Focus Features and was released on August 17, 2012. The voice cast includes Casey Affleck, Tempest Bledsoe, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Bernard Hill, Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Jodelle Ferland, Elaine Stritch, and Tucker Albrizzi. It's the first stop-motion film to use a 3D color printer to produce character faces, and just the 2nd stop motion film to become shot in 3D.
Production: Production of the stop-motion animation feature happened at Laika's studio in Hillsboro, Oregon, with filming ending in 2011. Rather than using traditional 3D format cameras, the studio used sixty Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR cameras to film the movie. The film is at production for 3 years using the animating stage of production lasting about two years. Ad agency Wieden+Kennedy come up with marketing campaign for that film.[10] ParaNorman may be the first stop motion film to utilize full-color 3D printers for replacement animation, after Coralline pioneered and popularized the use of black and white 3D printers, which sped up puppet production considerably and allowed the team to make the big quantity of puppets required for the film.
Synopsis: Whenever a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to consult with the dead. As well as the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of, grown-ups, to save his town from the centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed for their otherworldly limits.
