Oh? What do we have here?

Been going through all my old sketch books and I found the first animation I ever did. I did a short animation for my final major project for the foundation course at UCA. I used plasticine for the body and wire for the skeleton to create these creatures. It was really fun in making the characters, mainly because I was designing these characters like a pick'n'mix. I would pick an eye from the bag and then pick the head from another bag. I would then come out with something like this:


And I would make them into plasticine models:


I think it is possible to make these characters from the top of my head, but i think i would have made so many creatures. there were also many problems in making this film, because i didnt have 'dragon'(stop motion software) at that time, i had to use a digital camera, which only ran on batteries. So after every 3hours i would have to wait 30mins to charge it up again. Also other probblems included, the plasticine melting in the lights. From this project, it helped out my other film 'Death's Best Friend'

The narrative, is based on the relationship I have with my sister. She is younger than I am by 2 years, but she tends to act like the older sister most of the time. She also likes to take naps and I tend to bug her alot during those naps.... Also before you watch the short animation try and have a guess what the sound effects is used for the purple creature( answer below)

WAKEY WAKEY!


Well I hope you enjoyed it!!
