Puppet Assignment screen test

My most recent animation assignment from school.

I made that puppet from scratch, using armature wire, epoxy putty, m-wrap, gauze, and some kind of special latex mixed with acrylic paint.


I thank my sister for convincing me to not make something four legged as I usually do. I had to drill holes in the stage and attach the puppet to it via the bolts built into its feet, with screws (those are called tie downs. Every stop motion puppet apparently has to have tie downs) Four tie downs would have been hell to work with D:

I like the tail 'ripple' at the beginning, loath the 'spazz out session' that follows, and am pleased with the look and walk.

Odds are, I'm probably going to use this guy in my final project.
