Travis Knight

Travis Knight directed the recent Kubo and the Two Strings. Using stop motion with advanced technology it made the film look modern and amazing. The amount of time spent on creating this film
This process involves creating real models to animate, some animators use clay animation to create characters. the set design for Kubo and the Two Strings was all created by hand and metal beams are used like skeletons to hold the characters and help them to move. The process of stop motion is incredibly  long. These days animators who use stop motion also use computers. In the film Kubo the computers are used for the background, green screens are used for this process.

This Time Lapse shows how much attention the director and animators paid to make the animation run smoothly.


So basically this is some bts footage of the makings of Kubo.
