wiahmation,

where can I see your vids?

Dean on Saturday, 05 May 2012 22:27

Hi, Wiah. I deleted all my animation from the internet and my hard-drive because I didn't like it. I'm working on a project now that hopefully will be done by the end of the month.

Dean ,

Hi Dean, I'm dean too! You can call me The Art Wizard if you like! Want to really get to know you guys on here, during the past year i've been developing activities using stop frame animation. What do you think? http://www.magi-cam.co.uk/ This developed from my main business www.artwiz.co.uk.

Currently i'm creating stop frame puppets for my website, It's gonna be difficult but rewarding! Any tips? I have created a fully workable puppet, created a green screen set, I have final cut pro to edit the film, lights & etc. Eventually I want to create a set & create small animated adventures! Anything else you could think of?

Greetings, The Art Wizard. Haha! You should add the 'Wall' app to your profile, it's a good way to communicate. I checked out some of your stuff. Very creative on a grand scale - I like it. I'm pretty much a beginner myself, so I only have one tip - check out www.stopmotionanimation.com for all there is to know about this awesome craft. (If you join, you might wanna call yourself something other than Dean to avoid confusion).

I look forward to seeing your puppet and set :D

Dean on Tuesday, 11 October 2011 23:04

Hey Dean, ahh so you do your puppets on a part time basis! Not done much work in latex or resin yet but that will be next after this animation i'm creating at present! If you work with food mate, why don't you have a try if you like to make a superhero from fruit & veg or a villain from junkfood.

Please take a look at these links of mine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiR3ELObDvY or http://www.artwiz.co.uk/html/free_resources.html (Would you be interested in making these type of characters) be great to see what designs you could create at concept art stage!

Andrew Haycock,

Hey really nice video (tie). Reminds me a bit of Adam Elliot's films. Really nice work.

Dean on Wednesday, 20 July 2011 20:08

Cool, thanks. If it reminds you of Adam Elliot's work, I must be on the right track.
