An early stage of lighting test. One of the features I like about this character is the burn mark around his heart. We changed a bit of the lighting and camera angle later on. It is still interesting to look back every step we explored. . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist #StopMotionAnimation #workathomeproject #indiefilmmakinglife (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj8HzIj0J5/?igshid=1d7ke8wj1phec

The shortest shot inbetween 2D scenes-- a fun experiment trying to make the film composition as close as possible to our storyboard (created by Director @ebc_ink ) The coals are pink foams covered with light-grey acrylic paint. Then I used lighting set with color gels to approach the 'burning' feel. . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist #StopMotionAnimation #workathomeproject #indiefilmmakingtools #animationbreakdown (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhlW8cD8Va/?igshid=14tj75imge9w2

Museum Wax and Stick are pretty handy tools for moving the puppet's tiny eyebrows around! . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist #StopMotionAnimation #workathomeproject #indiefilmmakingtools #stopmotionpuppet (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeXexaj6Jg/?igshid=3m8aajne80cf

Painting on set. Made an experiment by wrinkling kraft paper to add visual interest to the ground. Used gouache to create stronger texture on the Paper Coals. Every objects are half-build. I only focused on how it looks in front of the camera🎥 so it doesn't make sense if you check the set on the side😂 . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist #StopMotionAnimation #workathomeproject #indiefilmmakingtools #fabrication #setpainting (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDb7OLujLmL/?igshid=uyudrku3qbv2

The longest shot that took me couple days to finish. It was a marathon challenging the body and mind. Every practice is a mini step toward profession. . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #filmfootage #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZOuvIj-wC/?igshid=183x7d5vik028

Some process of Mockup -> Fabrication -> Shooting. Like the puppet, the set is built from wire and paper. In the mid of animating, one of the puppet's arm was so worn out😨 Luckily it's upper body was moving out of the frame so we won't see a difference in the scene. . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist #StopMotionAnimation #workathomeproject #indiefilmmakingtools (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUoPhVjGlg/?igshid=sy0tuiv14pls

Our references were shoot before the lockdown-- We found a playground that quite fit for the climbing scene's layout. Thanks a lot to my partner who explored the neighborhood with me and was so patient with me during the process. By the way... rock climbing is super fun! I would like to try more in the future (hope it's fine if I play kid's level😅) . . . . . #stopmotionartist #stopmotionanimator #stopmotionanimationproject #stopmotionanimationpuppet #stopmotionshooting #shootingday #filmfootage #behindthescenes #makingof #freelancefilmmaker #stopmotion #animation #art #artist (at Berkeley, San Fransisco, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSEb04D_zM/?igshid=1837bqu5fyeok
