Coraline

Title Sequence
3D Animation

This motion video is inspired by the stop-motion film Coraline. When I first watched it, it spoke directly to the fear and curiosity I felt as a kid. I want to capture that contrast: the magical and eerie atmosphere that defines the film.My goal is to blend all these moods together and build a world that feels strange yet beautiful.

I always imagined other worlds and what might exist beyond what I could see.
This motion video is inspired by the stop-motion film Coraline. When I first watched it, it spoke directly to the fear and curiosity I felt as a kid.

The stop-motion style, with its hand-crafted textures, felt playful and cute, yet the story itself was dark and scary. That contrast between wonder and fear really fascinated me, and it’s one of the reasons I chose this film as inspiration.

Treatment

For the treatment, I plan a continuous one-shot sequence that moves fluidly across multiple scenes.I want the camera to travel through different environments, shifting between reality and strange, dreamlike spaces.

Process

World Building

I designed multiple scenes, refining composition and lighting as the camera evolved to create a cohesive, cinematic flow.
