Meet Frances, my stop motion animation puppet. :)

May 6, 2015

Well, my Puppets in Prague workshop is almost done, and I can't believe it. It has been such an incredible time, and I now have a new animation puppet named Frances! :) It took two days to carve her head and her body (the quickest that I've ever carved anything), and the rest of her armature filled out the rest of the week. We also went to a metal studio and actually made a metal ball joint for a professional armature! It was amazing. I used a metal lathe and welded for the first time, and I felt like a superhero. I still cannot believe that I made that joint by myself. Simply amazing. Any who, enjoy the images of Frances, and click on the pic above to look through the restt of the photos (and see the metal ball joint that I made! I welded, filed, and used a metal lathe!!!)
