Making
Perfect Execution
I think Making is one of the best parts of a stop motion Project and is something I always try and get involved in. I love working with my hands and helping out with all parts of making like:Â Sets, Puppets and props if IÂ can.
Prop/Set/Puppet Making
Animating with a dragon puppet I created from my own designs.
I created the twigloo for the forest scene in Big Feet. To do so I first covered a small bowl in mod roc.
I then painted the modroc brown and glued twigs onto it we tried making twigs but they didn't look right so we used real twigs instead.
This is what the finished Twigloo looks like. I even created a little door.
This was the first set I have ever created. I wish I had looked more at the scales before I had started, but overall it was a really good set. This was the basic structure of the set before we started to add more detail.
This is what the finished set looks like. It replicates the School of Film and Television building at Falmouth University.
Here is our puppet on the Campus set
I helped to create the Evil cups for Cuppa Joe. I painted them to make them look like traditional coffee cups
Here are the cups being used and animated. By a team member (left) and Me! (right)
