We drive around in circles looking for the area. There is no signs showing our destination -- no giant, pending cartoon figures or perhaps a logo design, only a faceless building inside a maze of commercial parks, about 17 miles outdoors of Tigard. It is a beautiful drive obviously, sandwiched on the vaguely winding highway by dense North American foliage, past Nike's global headquarters. In comparison around the world-class tracks and fields covering the shoemaker's campus, Laika's own offices are a workout in modesty (regardless of financial ties Phil Dark night), virtually indistinguishable in the densely packed companies that surround it. You will find, possibly, certain benefits of such anonymity -- to begin with, it will help the studio avoid random drop-inches by movie fans wishing to munch the ear from their animation heroes. Additionally, it implies that our cab driver does a great three passes before finally escaping . from the vehicle and asking a smoker standing outdoors a close building what to do. He considers it as it were and signifies a building -- a sizable, but otherwise indistinguishable space.
The lobby does not scream Hollywood either, however it certainly offers some less-than-subtle hints that we have found the area: a wall-sized black and whitened picture of classic film cameras (ancient products, someone informs me, which were applied to the business's previous film), as well as in the corner, a small room enveloped in glass, with Coraline sitting in a table in the center. This building may be the house that they built -- or at best stored the lights on "Coraline" was launched after its planned successor "Jack &lifier Ben's Animated Adventure" unsuccessful to materialize. Inside, the cavernous space more than 150,000 sq ft has turned into a busy small capital of scotland- creatives, toiling away in the recesses, many getting traveled through several timezones to stay in its rank, like carnies hopping from town to town. Stop-motion animation, in the end, is not probably the most prevalent of professions, even though we have perhaps joined a kind of golden age for that infamously labor-intensive talent, thanks mainly to the prosperity of projects like "Coraline," the amount of galleries really trading within the form could be counted similarly.
