bachelortest: puppets
First I started with the evil doctor.
While searching for 'new' materials to work with, I discovered 'liquid latex' and combined that with some modelingpaste.
The last one looked evil enough to me.
So than it was time to start making the armature.
I used 4 twisted aluminium wires en KNS tubes on the places where my puppet shouldn't move. The glue I used for that was a 2 component acrylaat glue. And sometimes the soldering iron was very useful too.
When the armature was finally finished, I glued some sponges to it, with the blue UHU glue, and cut them in the proper shape.
Once this job was done, my sweet doctor got some latexlayers (to color the latex, I simlpy used acryl paint) all over him to cover it all up, some more details to finish him and ready!
The eyebrows and the mouth needed to be animated so I did that just with some clay.
This is my first puppet ever made. And I'm pretty proud of it, despite he wasn't very good to animate. Because of the thick latexlayers the flexibility of the sponge decreased. So his arm and especially his back waren't willing to bend a lot.
The puppet was also too heavy on top and too light below so he couldn't stand without help. Small details at first sight, but very frustratong while you're animating. Learned a lot the last few months! :)

Time for some updates!
The story for my shortmovie has changed a bit but the big lines are kind of the same.
Next week will be the final week to animate everything. It will be very stressy and nothing can't go wrong. But I'll manage! :)
I'll start with showing you some making-of-images.

bachelortest - the story
The story is about a boy who can't see very well. He goes to a doctor (an evil doctor but he doesn't know that) and gets glasses. But they are very special. When the boy concentrates, he can see everything the way he wants it to. Because he likes candy so much, the whole city changes in candytowers and candyhouses. He is thrilled and starts likking and eating from things around him, also people. He realises that he himself is not made out of candy and starts concentrating again. BANG! He did it! He turned himself into a little candyboy! He looks yummie and starts eating himself.
But than we go back to the reality and we see a normal little boy in a little pool of blood eating himself...
I'm going to make a stop motion puppet movie and want to makes my setting in reaaaaaal candy. So,... I sended some e-mails to the right people. And,... got sponsored with 'some' cady! All my thanks to them!

TVcommercial-schoolassignment
Some shots out of my TVcommercial-schoolassignment.
They are all real cut-out animation.
About the one where the wall falls down, the breaking and falling of the wall isn't good, so, I'm going to "cut that out". (hahaha!)

the last drop
An other schoolassignement. Some storyboard stills from 'De laatste druppel'.
It took a lot of time, but I liked it more than drawing directly on the computer.

war... before, in and after
For an other schoolassignement, I did a groupswork, together with Laura Vandenwynckel. The theme was 'war' and we made a kind of theatermovie.
At the beginning of the performance we had a speeche about war, brought by Wouter Hessels. Than you heard a big 'PANG', lights went out and than you could see our wonderful maquette of a destroyed city. With a little webcam, we went in to it. You could see everything on te big screen in front. A lot of things from the speeche were also in the maquette. At the end we made a present of the maquette with a little note for the political leaders.
I enjoyed making the maquette and trying to take people really into that little world we created.

scenario and concept
An idea for a short. It's about a man and wife, happily married, until the woman dies. The man stays behind with only her wedding ring...
I did a little bit of character design and made some stills.
But the colours aren't the same with the thing a painted.
Dommage.
All is made in ink and aquarel.
