Video - Inside the 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' Puppet Shop

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:52:12 +0000

I can't even begin to fathom how exacting the work is to make a film like The Fantastic Mr. Fox . A feature-length production that is literally shot frame-by-frame instead of scene-by-scene is grueling enough to consider, but then there's the mechanical setup required for every frame, which ...

So now I’ve finally seen Fellini’s 8 1/2 . I feel like I’ve really accomplished something, although that’s kind of ridiculous. I enjoyed it, to my surprise. From what I had heard, it sounded like something I’m not quite ready to fully appreciate yet. And I’m ...
