o m G i feel sooooo wrong right now, white rabbit has a concept of time and space and unity in it and while looking up a picture for a background picture i was working on i found out this thing called whiterabbit radio it is related to something terrible i won't say what but just use the wrong side of your brain and that is exactly what it is about ...how terrible :(

Lilt,
Cheers, she was one of my first puppets, but as I said, totally unusable for animation.
As for 'when I'm next working on a project' I've only started seriously exploring stop motion since November so right now I've got about 3 projects on the go and a million in the pipeline!! Now all I need is funding, materials, time, space, equiptment....

Ack one day I'll have a film to show for all this work!!

So how long have you been playing with the idea of stop motion? If you're starting out I thoroughly advise getting some upholstery foam and some liquid latex! Its fantastic stuff and gives a really professional, fleshy look to the puppets. You can find loads about it on sma.com.

Good Luck!

thank you for the advice and i think that i now have the i guess i would say i had an epifany on how to make my puppets , i was randomly looking over puppets and found a video on youtube for of all things making halloween prostetics insted of making a costly mold for a puppet and castin it, use liquid latex over the clay model cut a seem to remove the clay inset the armature and cover the seem with the latex again
(that was probably boring to read sorry)
i've only recently got into doing stop motion but fell in love with it as a child my mom confused me and told me jack skelington was a computer program
i mainly thought of going into it because i made my own toy stuffed animals out of masking tape and cloth they look alright i should post them i kept playing with whem and put wire into it witch made my toys move giving me the idea for geting into it apologizes for the leanth but hope the story captivated like i felt from the memories

That sounds like a really great idea! You'd have to pad out the space between the latex skin and the armature- maybe cotton wadding? or upholstery foam?
I want to give this a try now!
Be careful what you use with the liquid latex though as it reacts really badly to any oil based products.
Inspired idea though!!

Sadly frank being a recent graduate and now unemployed, money doesn't stretch as far so yes, will animate for food and money right now!

Lilt,
Heya, cheers for the comment! I would love to make a video showing how I made the nylon puppet but I'm affraid she really doesn't work very well... and is mainly made of ductape and bottle tops. If you'd really like though. I could take her appart to show you the insides and how she's put together?
Good Luck with whatever project your on!
