MATERIAL LIST
My first job is making a material list of all the settings and puppets.
ANIMATIC
In the animatic tutorials, we received advice about making the action shots more detailed and clearer. I helped to fix the second half of animation, redrawing the step-out movement, the tube swinging and the reaction of the passengers.
CHARACTER DESIGN
John let us to design our own characters, which are the passenger in the background. Their figure should be like ordinary people, not as strong as the main characters.
PUPPET MAKING
The puppets we worked on is 1:10 size.
Since I am from 2D group, the team members kindly taught me how to make a puppet step by step. We spent 3 weeks of busy but joyful time in theater and costume departments. Also thanks the technical tutors showing us the way to use equipment and offering help in everything.
I was responsible for making the two characters I designed and the human forms of the main character(one dressed and one naked). Our wool felt master Zoe helped in felting.
HOW TO MAKE A PUPPET
- Cut the head and body pieces out of wood.
- Shape and sand the wood blocks.
- Connect the structure with wire and make the limbs.
- Wrap the skeleton with foam and bandages. Place the eyeballs.
- Apply a layer of wool felt to the structure and start stitching.
