Fran; From what I have read, the Tin Tin the movies should be made (fairly) directly from the original books, not from the animated cartoon "Herge's Adventures of Tintin", I believe.
As far as my job on "A Christams Carol" goes I was in Asset Tracking. That is keeping a precise, literal record of all Assets that were in the Volume (the stage) at absolutely any given time. An Asset is anything that would play part in the action; actors, props, set decorations, even the cameras that were in every take of every scene filmed. I would track all of this through automated software with barcode scanning alongside with a manual entry of all Assets that went in/out of the Volume. I would then keep a comparitive database going all throughout the filming day of the results. This was so when post-production starts up, the team would always know precisely what object (or actor, camera, etc) was present in every single take. Everything from Scrooges massive bed down to an actors pocket watch had a barcode and was kept track of.
It was organization on a very vast, fast and extreme level to say the least. Best part was, was that it kept me close to the Volume and being able to watch all these great actors (and Robert Zemeckis) do their craft.
