I Feel I'm Just Meant

I Have More Faith In Doing Something Creative For A Cable Station Or Something Like Yahoo Or Google Or Amazon. What Netflix Did With 'house Of Cards' And David Fincher Was Brilliant. That Is Inspiring To Me. I Think There Is More Chance For Creativity In Animation, It Just Hasn't Happened There Yet.

This Golden Globe Nomination Is Sweet Validation For The Years Of Hard Work It Took To Bring Coraline To Life Using Stop-motion Animation With The Greatest Crew Of Animators, Artists, And Technicians I've Ever Been Privileged To Work With. I Share This Nomination With All Of Them And We All Share Our Thanks To The Hollywood Foreign Press.

'coraline' Is Neil Gaiman's Book, It Sold A Lot, It Has A Big Fan Base. It Was Originally Conceived To Be Live Action, But I Never Really Wanted It To Be. I Always Thought That It Would Work Better As An Animated Film.

Every Kid Has A Toy That They Believe Is Their Best Friend, That They Believe Communicates With Them, And They Imagine It Being Alive, Their Toy Horse Or Car Or Whatever It Is. Stop-motion Is The Only Medium Where We Literally Can Make A Toy Come To Life, An Actual Object.

Almost Any Modern Video Camera Can Take Stills, So There's Always This Fresh Crop Of Kids That Like Making Things And Moving Them By Hand. So It's As Much Our Desire To Keep It Going As What We Believe Is The Public's Desire For Handmade Stuff That Really Feels Handmade, Where They Aren't Being Tricked Into It Being Handmade.
