CGI is cool, but have you ever considered using stop-motion in your film?
There is something charming about stop-motion animation. Stop-motion has the power to bring our imagination to the screen through detailed movements and hand-crafted models, which might make it the most human, personal, and heartfelt type of filmmaking. It’s special to see the creative spirit come to life in 24 frames per second, especially when stop-motion enters live-action.
With Marcel the Shell with Shoes On warming our hearts by using stop-motion to blend the wholesome creature into the real world, we wonder why stop-motion has fallen out of favor with filmmakers even though it has such a powerful effect on the viewers. Of course, realism is favorable, but stop-motion in live-action films can present stories in an awe-inspiring way similar to the animation of Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Cool World.
