I’m so delighted to be making puppets and doing stop motion animation as it is something I have wanted to do ever since starting my BA. I was a little worried I wouldn’t enjoy the hands-on aspect of puppet making and the mess that comes with it but I actually loved this lesson so much.
This week we focussed on making the skeleton for the puppet before padding it out with sponge.
I decided to make my character a bit larger than he is in my design as I imagine him being a little more short, stout and grumpy. Super happy with my puppet so far and can’t wait to make him a head next week!
