How 'Missing Link' stop-motion bar scene was created - Business Insider

The filmmaking technique, which requires a great eye for detail and lots of patience — as objects are moved ever so slightly between photographed frames so it looks like they are independently in motion once played back — has been dazzling audiences since the 1900s. But it's the Oregon-based company Laika that has recently pushed the medium to a point where it can compete with the glossy computer-generated animation of Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks.

Business Insider spoke to Laika animation supervisor, Brad Schiff, and visual effects supervisor, Steve Emerson, about one of the movie's most impressive scenes: a bar room brawl where Sir Lionel and Mr. Link face off against the movie's villain, Stenk , and his goons.In the script, after Sir Lionel meets Mr. Link and agrees to take him to the Himalayas, they stop off at a saloon in the Pacific Northwest. There they encounter Stenk, who has been hired to kill Mr. Link.

"As you sit down and watch the boards with the director and the other creatives, there's always one or two sequences where they just stand out as, 'Oh my God, how are we going to do that?'" Emerson said."The bar room brawl was definitely one of them."As preproduction continued, the execution of the movie became more of a reality. It would take 26 animators to do the entire movie, with 90 different unit set-ups being filmed at the same time.

26 Mr. Link puppets were created: 12 that were fur only, 10 where he had clothes on, and four that were stunt doubles . But with 90 different units going on at the same time, there were instances when all the Mr. Link puppets were being used at the same time. That would lead to the bar scene going dark until one was available.Visual effects made up the background characters.In the bar scene, there are 20 different characters, which is a tall order on a stop-motion project.
