"The Art of The Adventures of Tintin" is a sensational collection of photos, models, costume designs, concept art, and stories about the production of one of the year's best films. (Check out my review of the movie from the AFI Film Festival.) Written by Weta Digital's Chris Guise, the lead conceptual designer for the film, this book goes above and beyond similar volumes of its kind, providing specific details about the history of the production, the involvement of all the key players, featuring interviews with the cast and crew, and much more. It's a must-own not only for fans of Tintin and Herge (the artist who created the character), but for film fans interested in the process of performance capture technology or digital artistry in general.
With forewords from director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson, "The Art of The Adventures of Tintin" goes deep into the minds of...

I admit to having been pretty skeptical when I first saw the trailer [1] for The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. We’ve seen on several occasions how advanced motion capture technology can fail even the most talented of directors, and the teaser trailer did nothing to assuage my fears that this would happen again with Tintin. But then I heard good buzz about the film coming out of Comic-Con [2], and I started to get excited by this Spielberg/Jackson collaboration. This week, Paramount Pictures invited /Film on a trip to Wellington, Nz to visit Weta and see a presentation on the film. I accepted this opportunity and made the brutal flight to New Zealand from Boston, Ma, joining several other representatives/writers from some of your favorite entertainment sites. Over the next week or two, I hope to post up some further quotes and thoughts from the visit.
