Sad sad sailor dressing

 

Hey folks, poor Gammon was ripped in half from some vigorous filming, but dont worry he's now on the mend and stronger than ever with his new stomach!

 

Just a quick update from me (Kyle) about the sailors clothes

:

 

 

 

Our usual clothes maker is out of the country at the moment so i've given it a go myself for one of the minor characters, i don't think i did too badly, what do you think?

 

 

Yes, he is supposed to look that sad. Poor sad sailors

 

 

More soon :)

 

 

pretty puppets!

Hey folks, Kyle here, this week i'm going to show you some making of images for three new sailor puppets i'm in the middle of building.

 

Above from left to right
Friendly plastic, nut and bolt tie downs, black armature wire, thinner wire for fingers

 

I started by sketching out the characters bodies.
Then, using twisted black wire i created two legs. I then used friendly plastic to create the leg bones.

 

Next i created the characters feet by making a loop at the bottom of each leg with the ends of the wire.

I then embedded a small nut into the bottom of the each foot and then covered each one with friendly plastic.

The nuts embedded into the feet are there so that the characters can be screwed into the sets to keep them standing and walking through animation.

 

 

I created the arms in much the same way.

The fingers were created using thinner wire and more friendly plastic.

 

 

Once attached to one another i had created my three armatures

 

 

My next task was to bulk out the puppets, first i used small pieces of furniture foam to build up the muscles and body of the characters.

The foam was attached using a high strength spray cement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over the furniture foam i then attached thinner foam to the body to make the characters look

smoother with a more finished look.

 

Above is a puppet whose body has been foamed and is ready for skin and/or clothes

 

The fingers were padded out using a soft string covered in a very thin layer of latex

 

A hand covered in latex and starting to be painted

 

Any parts of the puppet that will show skin (parts that wont be covered by the clothes) need to be covered in latex and painted up to look smooth

 

 

That's all for this week, i'll leave you with a nice picture of our hero looking as happy as ever:

 

 

More soon!

 

 

Some not so Offal news....

So the adventures of little Gammon Pinkman is coming along nicely.
The animation is coming along great and we thought we'd show you some pictures to keep your appitite quenched.....

Gammon now with feet screwed into the set

Nice shadow being cast by the night lighting (unfortunatly not in the film)

So happy Gammon (don't you think he's cute?)

Gammon outside his mothers house
(Not in film still, he has no clothes really, this was him messing about on set during his precious down time)

Hopefully this will keep you going for now. The animation and sets are moving very smoothly now and we are right on target.
