Video-clip, Building of the main character

A very short photo report of the process of building my stop-motion character.

I started by making a full scale drawing of the puppet, on which I based my armature. I made a aluminium wire armature (armature is the skeleton of a stop-motion puppet) and glued this into a piece of upholstery foam which I had cut into the (very) rough shape of the puppet. When the was dry I continued shaping the upholstery foam until I was happy with it.

This is the armature with the foam for the body glued on and most of it already cut into shape.




Next I covered the upholstery foam with liquid latex to create a smoother skin.




I then painted it and shaped the head out of plasticine (a modelling clay often used in animation to make stop-motion animations).

The Dreamside, Video-clip Storyboard

Finally it's done, I finished the Storyboard for the Sternenkind video-clip, and I'm quite happy with it.

Even more sketches and designs (and some of the old ones cleaned up and rearranged), and some colour impressions, for the Sternenkind Video-clip.

I, Didn't make the video this time, but I did do (among other things) the character and object animation in the game.

GRIP is a serious health game for children with diabetes and their parents. GRIP is linked to an interactive web-based self management application for diabetes patients. Children experience which activities and foods are affecting their blood sugar level. By connecting personalized information from the electronic patient file (EPS) to a game, children learn to make decisions and develop skills based on their current health situation.
