between video game and film
was once considered an insult to say about a film that "looks like a video game," now no more. To prove arrives in theaters on Friday (in 3D or not) Coraline, the last pearl in stop motion animation (the technique that moves on the screen of plasticine puppets) by Henry Selick, the director became famous with another animated gem: Nightmare Before Christmas.
The film of the same name game (already available for PlayStation 2, Wii and Nintendo DS) were carried out in parallel, taking into account the needs of one another. But far from having influenced the quality and enjoyment of the two products, such integration has instead enhanced them, bringing a real involvement in the game film and original ideas to the story of the film.
The story of Coraline by Neil Gaiman is on the story and revolves around dissatisfied with a child like many parents, he said gray and inattentive to their needs, in his new home where the family has moved to find a door to another world mirrors the real one but where everything is as you would like. Apparently.
Coraline is so first of all a story and who has never touched a video game probably will not notice the news. The savvy but can not help but notice how often the story follows the rules of the most popular RPGs. In particular, in the end, one in which the child has to solve the tests and retrieve objects in a race against time to free the parents, there are a lot of video games as typical patterns from "complete" defeating an enemy that their supervisors, magic items to use for the solution of the tests and a rigid division into areas.
Coraline, however, is only a first taste of this type of contamination waiting for Avatar. The highly anticipated new James Cameron film that will take us next season in 12 years away from the splendor of the Titanic, has been built in parallel with the eponymous video game and even more radical ideas. The collaboration between the creative team of the film and the game was so tight that even the presentation is during the game (not the movie) at the annual fair in the world of video games in Los Angeles that the director has revealed the first highly-anticipated (and hours only) rumors on the environment and the possible plot of the sci-fi film.
