Nice look behind the scenes of Raffel

An interesting look behind the scenes of Raffel shows how the voice actors completely absorbed in their role to play by everything after what happens to the animated characters.

Motion capture, but without the motion capture. That's pretty much the idea behind the fun making-of of Raffel. Director Gore Verbinski chose his actors (including Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin and Timothy Olyphant) the script to let them play and their actions to film. That material was later used as a reference for the animation creators of Industrial Light & Magic.

Although more intensive, more expensive and time-consuming, it seems this way of working me much more natural than to a rapid reading a script in a recording Studio. Certainly because a good actor still no good voice actor. That problem is in this way for a piece of bypassed and the actors also more realistic to ' play ' in an animated film.

Raffel is in Belgian cinemas expected on 2 March 2011. The Dutch release follows on 10 March 2011. More about the animation film can be found in the previous posts. The recent trailer for the comic western was promising.
