Week10-Towards Expression1

For this last assignment, I would like to work with plasticine, which is a material I used only once in foundation year. I began with a wire structure still, and wrap this wire with plasticine only. To make the head lighter, I had a styrofoam in it, but the rest is purely plasticine. After the puppet was done, I found that I forgot his tail. The problem is that without a wire in it, the tail didn't attach to the body at all and it just kept falling apart. The other problem is that his body is still to heavy for the feet to balance the weight. The arms could not move freely or else the wire in them might expose. Anyway, I had a lot of issues working with this puppet.

 After the failure of puppet making, I decided to change my character and story to a simpler one (since I don't have much time left for this assignment). This story will be focusing on one character only, with a much simpler background design and no camera movements in order to limit the work load. The storyboard is still longer than I need, the animation should stop at step 4.
