start of animation



This is the first practice model for my new stop motion animation which will portray a head asleep in a strange world made of plastercine. The head will be stung by a beatboxing fly and will be infected then going on to beatbox himself to death. The main part of my animation is the lipsyncing to the beatbox which has never really been touched upon in animation before. I built this model to discover if their are any problems with the materials or approaches to the construction of the model before going into full production of the animation. I will probably have to redo this a few times because during shooting a stop motion animation you have to work in a 'straight forward' manner working from the first frame to the last without mistakes. This is going to take a fair bit of planning and will probably go wrong if I use the first model I create.

I do really like the colour scheme of this model and probably going to be the colours I use in my final animation, but their are huge problems around the mouth. If I where to animate at this scale which is about 3 inches high I would be unable to get believable movement from the mouth as well as the fact that it has no jawbone and moves in a weird way.
