In this episode, we go behind the scenes of WILDWOOD, LAIKA’s spectacular new stop-motion animated fantasy, with four of the filmmakers responsible for creating its extraordinary world. We’re joined by Brad Schiff (Head of Animation), Nelson Lowry (Production Design), Deb Cook (Costume Design), and Oliver Jones (Head of Character & Practical Effects) to discuss the incredible craftsmanship and artistry behind the film. The group takes us inside the painstaking process of bringing WILDWOOD to life, from its intricate stop-motion animation and character design to its elaborate costumes, practical effects and production design. Directed by Travis Knight and based on the novel by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis, WILDWOOD follows Prue and her classmate Curtis as they enter an enchanted forest in search of Prue’s kidnapped infant brother. With a voice cast featuring Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett, Jake Johnson, Charlie Day, Amandla Stenberg, Jemaine Clement, Tom Waits and Richard E. Grant, WILDWOOD represents another huge leap forward for LAIKA and the art of stop-motion animation. This interview was recorded as part of the WILDWOOD global press junket in London.
