This is an amazing book on the making of the movie Tintin. Anyone that is a Tintin lover will love to see how the movie was created and enjoy the outstanding artwork and pictures of this book.

Expected a used one but received something literally new, and earlier than scheduled. VERY HAPPY

Great book and a wonderful depiction of the movie. The book brought Tintin to life. A must for any one thatloves Tintin.

Excelent

The media could not be loaded.  I managed to get this a bit earlier from Amazon UK. This book is also sold by Weta on their website, which is perhaps how I remember first hearing about the book.Tintin's a motion capture CG film, directed by Steven Spielberg, and produced by Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy.In this book, there are lots to read about the making of the film, like how they capture swimming, walking on sand, animate Snowy, etc. Captain Haddock was actually performed by Andy Serkis, the King Kong/Gollum guy.The transformation of Herge's characters to 3D is quite stunning. They are modeled by Weta and the details are amazing. They have gotten the skin textures spot on, and sometimes it can be a bit creepy to look at the caricatured version.Much of the art is actually on trying to find the look for the film. There are some earlier concept art where specific panels of Herge's comics are painted over with a realistic style, using the same composition. Even the shark submarine and checkered rocket were re-imagined with more photo-realism.The environment art are on the antique market, Tintin's apartment, Haddock's ship, the ocean, the desert and many other locations. The art is very distinctly digital painting, I'm not sure if I like the style here. There's still the charm of comics that's very difficult to translate across medium.3.5 out of 5 stars.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

This book shows how they created the very entertaining Tintin movie.Such astonishing attention to detail and research by the team is shown. They all seem to love the original Tintin artwork and just hyper-realised it. I cannot beleive that all the cars, props, streets, clothes only exist in the computer!The book is printed on very nice paper and the photos and just excellent. The film may mess with your mind, as you know the characters are not real,but there they are moving, but the still photos just look stunning and show you the detail you may have missed.I love this book it is a quality product and so very interesting as to how they chose certain looks for the movie.

Although a few people have not liked the movie, but I must say watching the cartoons on Tintin and seeing this movie, a great job has been done to keep the Tintin tradition alive. This book has some great stuff...more pictures explaining the art rather than tons of text.Around 195 pages full spread, lovely illustrations and details. Worth the price!

A great book for the Tintin enthusiast. Bought it for my son as a Christmas present and I'm sure that he'll love it. Good detail, well presented. Nice keepsake.

Bought this for my husband. We're both big Tintin fans and enjoyed the film. This book has lots of interesting stuff on how the film was made.
