[Leica] Leica Sighting in "Coraline"

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard Taylor)]

Coraline used an M3 to take pictures of her friend in this scene,  
about the last thing I expected to see in a cartoon drama.  There must  
have been a Leica fan on the animation team.  When the camera cut to a  
through the finder view, there was the single M3 50 mm frame line just  
where it belonged (though stretched to 16:9, for artistic purposes, I  
suppose).  She's left eyed, too.

Taking pictures off the TV set was easy once I realized you had to  
move the camera in and out from the screen until you found a distance  
(actually magnification, I suppose) that defeats the moire.  Screen  
capture is not allowed from DVDs in a Mac.

"Coraline" was great fun, BTW.  I really enjoyed it.
