The Golden Compass is still a long way off, but here is some new footage of the movie, courtesy of top fansite His Dark Materials. In the five minutes that this clip lasts, you will see how some of the scenes were shot, how the cgi was handled, and how the actors handled shooting in an environment that, for a big part, was only added afterwards. It's interesting stuff, both for fans of the books and people just looking for a great fantasy movie.
