		Bill Desowitz traveled to London to visit the set of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, and reports back on the innovative puppetry and groundbreaking digital shoot.
		Well, it just so happens that I got the opportunity to visit the set of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride in March, and Burton was right: there is something special about “the hand-made thing,” even though there was a significant digital component to the production as well.
		Co-director Tim Burton shows audiences why hand-made puppetry is so special in Corpse Bride.

	BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA - SUPERBIT DVD
		There isn't a qualitative gulf between the DTS and Dolby Digital tracks--both are bass-rich (especially Wojciech Kilar's now-familiar score) and pleasantly disorienting, with excellent sidewall imaging during the harrowing carriage ride and Dracula's "winds" spell.
		The first thirty minutes of Francis Ford Coppola's rendition of the Dracula legend are a kaleidoscope, the multi-coloured offspring of a joyful union between set design, cinematography, puppetry, and special effects.
		The Superbit Bram Stoker's Dracula is a bare-bones reissue of a bare-bones platter.

		Apart from this, there is liberal fantasy when Nasser's group comes into the city; 'Devathai' has only digitally composited shots, some of which were painted, some miniatured and some using puppetry.
		For the latter, he directed many digital and special effect shots and has done the compositing along with 3-D animation, helped by four other artistes.
		As a young boy in Madurai, he had a great attraction for animation and never missed any animation cartoon films or spectacular films like 'Solomon and Sheeba' or 'Benhur' that had optically "composited" shots; even though he could identify painted portions in those shots.

	Thumb Wars - The Phantom Cuticle
		This revolutionary process marries desktop digital effects and good old-fashioned thumb puppetry with a twisted, sick genius: human mouths and eyes are not merely morphed onto the thumbs but squished into cartoonish exaggeration.
		Thumb Wars is special because it was the first Thumb feature, and has the intro from Steve Oedekerk and the character with the "Most ridiculous name in the universe." Be sure to either rent it or buy it with Thumbtanic, because the feature is only 29 minutes long.
		Also, I have never seen the original Star Wars movies, but have heard enough about them to know who the characters and some of the situations are.
