Last weekend we finally got around to seeing Coraline. It proved to be a pretty good Halloween pick for young ones, moderately scary but no real blood and gore. About a quarter of the way through I was surprised to see Coraline pick up a Leica (an old M2 or M3?) to whip off some snapshots. You don't see many Leicas in animated films. Someone involved in production must have had a camera fetish. That's great, but the Leica scene (shown above) shows it being used to take a slew of flash photos which doesn't look possible with that camera. Oh well. Good film anyway.
I'm out making photos. B is on hiatus for a while.
Coraline was a good piece of film. Was great to see some stop animation done the old fashion way instead it all being CGI.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie since it first came out, but I remember taking note that even the frame lines during the through the finder scene where a match for my M3. Most movies usually screw that part up and just use a SLR view for everything, Oldboy being one example that quickly comes to mind.
