Good chemistry is key formula for recent stop-motion movies

(October 19, 2005) -- College Park, MD Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride" and Nick Park’s “Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit”, released earlier this month, are stop-motion animation films with a new scientific twist behind the scenes. Both new and old stop motion shows are comprised of sets and characters made of malleable, lifelike looking, but inert, material.
Stop-motion is a cinematic form of animation, in which handcrafted puppets are moved just fractions of an inch, frame by frame, in front of still cameras so they can be seamlessly played back as one continuous video or film.
Modern chemistry has brought today's animators tools that can compete with sophisticated visuals generated by the latest computer graphics programs. These modern state-of-the-art hybrid plastic skins include injected foam-latex and high-tech urethane that can then be painted with a wide range of color pigmentation. In fact, technicians had to hand craft the "Corpse Bride" dolls and stretch "skins" of silicone over steel-reinforced armatures.
