Making plasticine people - for stop motion animation



Evidence that Alex and I came up with the plasticine pirates idea before Aardman! After a trip to 4D model shop on the CS3 cycle route we started our plasticine people experiment.



We made armatures out of wire twisted together using a drill.


We used plastic to cover the armature joints and add bulk. The plastic balls were melted in hot water. We added balsa wood feet so they stood up on their own.




Building the figures.


Finished products.

Me and my pirate.
