This week we’re looking at stop motion sequences and movies with prop maker Sarah Lovell. We start with Phil Tippett’s work on RoboCop 2 (1990) in a world on the cusp of CGI. Next up is precocious puppet Coraline (2009) seeking parental validation within the imagination of Neil Gaiman. We finish with pulp horror pastiche ParaNorman (2012) telling multi-layered stories that work for children and adults and maybe we’re the monsters? Also: Consensual touching. Frank Miller, (sigh). Skyscraper (2018). Phil Tippett, dinosaur supervisor. RoboCop 2 - Cain robot. Henry Moore sculpture. Galyn Görg. Mime vs. Stop Motion. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). Laika. 9 (2009). Reverse-mermaid. Non-Euclidean belly laughs. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005). Dinosaur ghosts. Frankenweenie (2012). We play a game of “Stop! Motion time!”
