This is for a team production I am currently working on called "The Busker", it is a 90 second stop-motion piece. So far for this piece, I made all of the clothing for the puppet, which I really enjoyed, and under camera all the hard work really paid off!
I didn't really think about how hard making a tailcoat would be, I kind of cheated as it just has one tail, only to make it easier to animate. My first maquette for the coat basically told me to do my research, but i managed to get hold of a tailcoat pattern, and low and behold I managed to make my first coat...shame it doesn't fit me!
i decided to make a maquette of the two scenes for our animation. Hopefully the desert scene will be made out of card, and the sand, well...hopefully sand!...For the alleyway, its going to be painted, with more materials and texture added to it. Also the alleyway is set at dusk, so the sky is just going to be light enough to see, and the street lamp will give the affect of a spotlight on the character.
