Stop Mo Puppets

Here are two finished stop mo puppets. They took a lot of hard work with many cut fingers and broken nails, but I think they turned out really well.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints I will not be using them for my thesis project. With only two finished and three more to make I dont think it would be possible to finish them in the allotted time and finish my thesis film as well. Its a shame because they would have worked well, but I have to make sacrifices.

The new animal characters will most likely be 3D models in Maya. And if I dont like the way those are turning out they will be After Effects Puppets. Tests to come soon.

Animatic v2

This is a new animatic. New voices and a new cut that is much tighter than the previous version. It doesnt show it, but it begins with a medium shot of a zoo map. The map unfolds and turns itself into the 3D world. Also in the beginning, instead of Victoria just running through the zoo, she will be running and quickly fixing broken objects.

Screen Integration plus Light Flicker

This is the same shot as below, but with added light flicker off of the screen. Its subtle, but I think it works much better with the addition of the light.
