    This tutorial is amazing! 🧡The big plus would be a tutorial similar to this one where you create a head that you can animate, since this one is fixed, so you can't animate it in stop motion videos.

  • @simonpower6591
    @simonpower6591 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    You can also add some key holes on the back and front so you can use a rig to hold your character in place while animating. Just add them into your milliput, I use two different size brass rods so the can slot into each other 😊

    Wow. This seems like a very effective way. I usually just use non hardening clay for my animation puppets. However the clay starts to get pushed in and by the end of the animation, the character looks completely messed up. Mine also don’t stand on their own. So I’m going to use this video to make some cute ones. Thank you for the tutorial!

    • @HollyLam
      @HollyLam  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It definitely isn’t an easy process if you’re doing this the first time! I’ve made quite a few of these over the years so this process is what I’ve developed and refined from many trial and errors. This project took me a full day to make but as a beginner it may take longer. The cost depends on the materials you decide to use as I already had some materials around the house such as the sponge, wire and fabric. As someone just starting out in stop-motion, If you were the purchase all the materials it would still be more cost effective than purchasing a professional stop motion armature etc. :)

They do take a lot more time and materials to make. There are people who have made flexible joints on their puppets by adding nuts and bolts that are used in professional armatures to wire armatures as an alternative. A lot of online resources and tutorials cover that aspect so it is definitely worth looking into :)

      Depends if you're going to have your stop-motion puppet move a lot, metal epoxy is much more durable than regular clay but if you’re planning on making just a sculpture not a puppet you can try using regular clay :) I think there are some affordable metal epoxy available online if you’re looking to get some.
