Quelques photos de making of de mon film de fin d’études!

A bientôt pour les photos de mon autre personnage!

Some Making of pictures of my graduation film! Here is my process for making the puppets: I got a ball and socket brass armature, then i do the “hard parts” of the body with wood. At the end, I glue some foam than i sculpt with small scissors and here we are!

Thanks for watching!

Stop motion animations from the semester. It’s great to have the chance to animate ball and socket rigs at school. Those are expensive and hard to get, I hear.
