Tim Burton's Corpse Bride: An Invitation to the Wedding (Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook)

A great making of the movie with some amazing behind the scene stills.

Es la segunda vez que compro este libro, su calidad de impresion es magnifica y su contenido muy bien pensado y organizado, rico en información y detalles sobre la creacion de la pelicula, personajes musica, ambientes y proceso de diseño. Realmente recomiendo este libro para todo aquel que gusta del arte de la animacion cuadro por cuadro.

I am so glad I got this book! It is awesome in the way you can go behind the scenes to learn how they made it all happen, with plenty of pics and illustrations..

Came in great condition, and just in a few days. I love it!

The book has beautiful pictures of the puppets and design elements that went into making the movie. I was particularly interested in the character designs. I recommend it for Burton fans and for people interested in stop motion animation or puppetry. The technology has advanced so much between Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride for building and photographing the puppets!

Great Product!!! Beautiful artwork

Love the pictures in the book

A dozen years after its release Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas" continues to maintain a cult following. Burton returned to the realm of stop-motion animation as well as the deliciously macabre in "Corpse Bride", just released this year. Burton's love and preservation of the art of stop-motion animation is very important. This is a form of animation that is nearly dead in this country yet in the hands of masters such as Willis O'Brien (King Kong, Son of Kong) and Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans) it has given us many classic films. Burton expresses his deep admiration in a meeting with Harryhausen early on in this book. From Newmarket Press comes this wonderful and informative companion to the film. Unlike the cheaply produced fluff books like other film companion books that are loaded with photos and little worthwhile information, this book takes the reader through the entire filmmaking process from concept to digital filming. It is filled with over 250 color photos, illustrations, and storyboards.The genesis of "Corpse Bride" began over a decade ago when a friend of Burton's told him about the Russian folklore story that the film is based on. Burton for years had shared his concept for the film with friends and colleagues and the book displays many of Burton's original sketches. The film began pre-production in 2003 and the book takes you through every step of the production process beginning with character creation and storyboards. Most interesting was the team's creation of the dozens of puppets and their armatures that would be used in animating the myriad of characters in the film. Improving upon "A Nightmare Before Christmas" the puppet makers uses a combination of both latex and silicon for the skin which gave a softer, dewy look to the characters and didn't wrinkle like pure latex did.From there the book covers the casting of the character voices, costume and set design, animation (which was done digitally as opposed to traditional film) and music. The great Danny Elfman composed five songs for the film and the score, as well as providing the voice of the Bone Jangles character. The final fifty or so pages of the book provides an illustrated version of the film told with photos from the film, text, and song lyrics. It's simply a gorgeous book. The photos included are sharp and beautiful. But the real selling point is the wealth of information about the film. It's a must have for fans of the movie.Reviewed by Tim Janson

Llevaba años buscándolo y por fin pude tenerlo conmigo. Llegó medio maltratado, algo húmedo de la parte inferior, pero tengo motivos para creer que eso se debió al manejo de paquetería. El contenido es hermoso, muy buenas impresiones e información en cantidad adecuada.
