False Taxidermy

So a few months ago Blue Zoo Animation (where I have been working) decided to have a little competition to create some False taxidermy for the studio walls. I deiced to create 'Gunter':


 Made using newspaper, cardboard, ModRok, Air dry clay, then painted with acrylic and covered with fur. 




Gunter won me the competition :D

Bunny Building.

Project 3- we were given one minute of sound created by the sound designers and we had to create an animation to it. We were asked to try something we hadn't before, and also to be fairly experimental with it. I decided I would try stopmotion with a puppet... only on a much larger scale, and animating outside, using pixilation too.

I had to build the puppet myself:


















She was made using Card, Foam, lots of wire, Modroc (Plaster), false fur, bamboo, air dry clay and a bit of Meccano and a few stop motion joints.
