The Making of: Kubo and the Two Strings.



On researching Laika (both for fun and for this project) I came across this video that held a lot of insight into the company itself; the passions and ethics they hold, and the way departments work together to create a film as advanced and beautiful as this. The processes used to create the sets and puppets are also mentioned which, as my area of study, really fascinate me, and it's amazing to see the level they push their own boundaries.

What I particularly found interesting was the fact that they stated that before post production even begins, the characterizations and the world that they will create take  years to formulate and think out in enough detail. They incorporate aspects of their own lives and experiences into the film to give it more depth that the audience can relate with, giving a wholly human feel. As a project that focuses a lot on design, knowing that industry standard includes literal years of complex design is really interesting.
