Puppentrick
In the past two weeks and also the week we’re in right now we’re in the module “Puppentrick” i don’t know if it’s “Puppet Animation” in English so i’ll just call it the German name for now.
We are a team of three girls and we developed the story weeks ago in the module for storytelling. The idea was to create a really short and simple tale which we can realize in only one week. Our team decided to do something about a cactus and a balloon. It turned out to be a rather tragic love story.
Here are some progress pictures we took while working on our characters.
Kathrin sculpting parts of the balloon @kat-animation
And me forming parts of the cactus.
The cactus and the balloon are made out of Super Sculpy with a core made out of wood.
We painted them with acrylic paint overtop a layer of magnetic paint.
We also did the eye and mouth replacements the same way but we used small magnets instead of magnetic paint so they will stick on the balloon and the cactus.
Here’s a picture of them painted.
I’ll upload another post later where i’ll show how we made the rest of the set.
