Testing...

So major lessons are learned in the process of testing a set up. Biggest discovery for me is the need to refine my rigs so that I don't lose track of joints. Good thing I tested before completing the model, which I had originally planned. Also see the need for many more models and cannot really determine lighting until the model is complete as the lighting set up I had in mind was too bright for the wire rigs.

Here is my "Studio" set up:


And the first test of working with my rig...

Inspirations & Research

Checking out wire animations 1. To see what is out there so I don't copy. 2. To see what works and what does not work.

Rigs and lighting test

Started making a couple of rigs... looks like I will be doing this stop motion. Time to build. Forgot how much I enjoy working with materials, in actual space and just building stuff. I'm thinking of making skins in the paper doll type, leaving them as is or could use fabric. Just need to keep working at it and it should come through.
Just a couple of lighting tests no actual animation yet... but I'm starting to see it.

blog update

have been lost in the land of reality lately, finding no time to work. So with lots of quick ideas in mind, I will animate... something... by Thursday.
