Kat has been working on a car for her opening shot. After a couple of iterations and tests for a really janky, rattle-y car, she is happy with her last prototype, and is off to the races! This is a cardboard mock-up; she is planning to build her hero car out of very thin sheet metal, sewn together with wire... Awesome to see you so often down at the 'Works, Kat!
Kat demonstrating that old model shop adage:
'Always use the right tool for the job.'
'Always use the right tool for the job.'
In this case, a sharpened screwdriver for poking holes in paper. Perfect! :]
Kat's Car prototype #2: now it's on to sheet metal
(because she's nutz)
Kat's first prototype looks janky and rattle-y -- SUCCESS!!
Ultimately of course the operator's hands will be replaced by rods,
but the movement is great!
Amber has been playing with ways of making characters using printouts of various images. Her first mockups are looking sweet and pretty funny...! Ultimately of course the operator's hands will be replaced by rods,
but the movement is great!
Amber's work area always looks great...
... she knows that the best way to make a puppet...
is to have a little bit of everything within arm's reach...
... et voila!
