Fantastic Mr. Fox: The Making of the Motion Picture

もっとめずらしい内容が欲しかった。 映画を見たときのようなどきどき感がない。

El libro es increíble, la calidad de imagen y diseño magnífico

Wirklich absolut empfehlenswertes Buch. Wer den Film liebt wird auf dieses Buch lieben. Man erfährt sehr sehr viel darüber wie an einer Stopmotion Animation gearbeitet wird. Es sind wirklich sehr viele Bilder, hinter den Kulissen, wie diese gebaut werden, wie die Puppen entstehen, Scripte, Beleuchtung usw. also eigentlich alles was interessant ist für jemanden, der sich für das Making of dieses Filmgenres interessiert. Den preis von 28€ fand ich absolut gerechtfertigt. Mein Buch kam per Express aus Großbritannien und war am nächsten Tag schon bei mir. Eingepackt war es ausreichend normal, wie immer. Ich kann dieses Buch jedem ans Herz legen der mehr über diesen Film oder darüber wie man einen Stop Motion Film dreht erfahren möchte.

Hands up if you have not read any of Ronald Dahl's books, alright, those of you who have your hands up, you seriously need to press the "BUY" button when you see any on Amazon, like in the upcoming link. Fantastic Mr. Fox was published in 1970, written by Ronald Dahl. The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox is for the visual companion for the stop motion animated movie based on that book, directed by Wes Anderson. This is a 192-page hardcover book with a nice dust jacket. The low gloss pages are filled with character sketches from the conceptualisation to the making of the models for the animated film. A short introduction to the Dahl estate starts the book, which is then divided into several chapters which focus on the various characters of the film. Alongside the sketches and art, there are little notes that explain the consideration taken when designing the models, how each part is to be handled and the significance in the final film. This book a treasure trove of knowledge on stop motion animation. It shows much of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the final film, how each and every character is modeled, the making of the sets - the farmhouse, the foxes' tree burrow, the town square, how the fire in the street scene is done and many more. There are plenty of detailed photos of the models of the buildings, like how each chicken should look down to the bread in the bakery etc. Alongside these photos are notes by the artists talking about the scenes where the models are used. Each character has its own chapter. You can see how the director's interpretation the characters' look, traits and behaviours, are all reflected in the creation of the models. There are concept art from the initial character design to the final selected design, and the different expressions, their clothings, textures ' hair, fur, wrinkly skin, etc. In the later parts of the book, alongside the pictures of the models for the settings and locations, there are interviews with Wes Anderson, Liccy Dahl (Roald Dahl's wife) and various production staff. Fans of stop motion animation would enjoy this book and through it, appreciate this way of movie making. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

Took a long time arrive, but was in great condition!!

If you're a fan of this legendary story that they made into a movie. This book is a great buy. Pictures are stunning and storyboard is amazing. Brought it for my 12 year old but still a fun read for adults as well.
