Pupper Fab Test

HEY! HAPPY HOLIDAYS Y'ALL!

I wanted to do a quick test to get closer to what I think the final look of the film will be for myself. Anyway, it was a good opportunity to see if my idea can be appealing or not. I see a couple of things I want to go back and fix with the actual puppet, but I want to finish the rest of them before I go ahead and fix a puppet. Gotta make MORE!!

DAD'S SORT OF DONE!

Ah, nothing quite like your good ol' ominous family portrait.

But wait, what is this? Is William finished? (for the most part)

yes.

His head has been baked several times. I had to do some repairs when the sculpey crumbled in the back of his head with some magic sculpt. I learned the valuable and time saving thing that is baking magic sculpt. What would usually take around 24 hours to harden to the point of "rock", baking it gets it rock hard in about 20 minutes or so. I'm sure there's a waiting period to let it settle, but anyway... SUCCESS!!

He has an open chest cavity because of an effect in the film that will call for a lack of chest. But for now, I no tell you nothin'.

More of his head

EARS!

There's something insanely disturbing about cooking them puppet heads.

William's head

In this post, we get to meet the new head of William!

Just another update

I've bene fixing up the puppets hands, and I gave Mary some.. uh.. breast-like appendages.

This is probably one of the only times you'll see a santa outta me.

MARY'S HEAD IS BAKING IN THE OVEN!!

Looks like a little mummy to me.

Aw, mother and son.

Lonely little boy.

OH HEY!

PUPPET PROGRESS :D

Thesis Presentation

Earlier this month I had a thesis presentation for my film. I made a packet, so I thought why not post some of the supplementals? Also, there is a finished animatic! I'm a little on the fence if I should post it online or not, but it would probably be a good idea to. Hell, maybe if I just do it here, I don't' have to post it on youtube.

GOOD IDEA, ZOË!

I'm sending my laptop off to get its screen fixed today! This is huge for a number of reasons, but it means I will once again have the means to document the puppet making process. And OOHHH, you can bet that'll be exciting. I'm excited, aren't you?

Oh GOD! TIME! LOOK AT THE TIME!!

two months? seriously? I'm sort of ashamed, but the good news is that a lot progress has actually been made. I'll be updating more frequently though, so you can keep checking back again. :P

An Addison Sketch

Dude, mom's gonna stare holes into your naughty little face.

CHARACTER MODELSHEETS

I've been working on Modelsheets for the characters. Here be two of them.

And then there are some hands.

Addison, the little boy from my film. Here's various stages of character development he went through before his more final design, which can be found in the last post.

Family

God, what is everyone so upset about?

Oh right, the plague.

Hello there. This is my production blog for my 4th year project, "The Plague Bearers" (working title)! I'll be posting everything there is to do with my film.
