Senior Project

Here is an image from mine and Cevin's senior project. We are working late tonight so Cevin can hopefully start animating tomorrow. The puppet in the image below is a stand-in. We made that one last semester, but after some animation tests we decided to redesign him. Our final puppet is currently in the oven, and hopefully is turning out ok. This is our fifth try on that puppet. For some reason, we have had tons and tons of malfunctions in the puppet making process with our final puppet. I will have to post some photos of the zombie reject puppets. There are a lot of them.

Anyhow, this is where we are with the lighting and general aesthetic of the film. I think it is looking pretty good personally. Cevin did the original color study, and crafted the hill out of foam. He also built the rig holding up the puppet that you can't see and he made the armature inside of the puppet. I painted the hill and everything else, and I also designed and made the puppet. It's been a lot of work! And we still have a lot to do...


(Sorry for so much chatter over one small photo. More images coming in the future...)

I think it's looking good! Nice design work Colleen, all I've done is put her artwork together and make it animatable.
