These aren't in order but they show the processes Jenna and I have been working through. i.e. Cutting paper to make stacks for the backgrounds and making the body blocks for the puppets.
Here's Jenna starting on the first ream of paper. (I finished up the job, I know I worked for 4 hours and she worked for quite some time herself).
Here was the first part of the ream. (Completed @ 4am).
Here's what I thought an entire ream looked like until...
...I remembered I had a bad of 1/2" x 1" pieces.
Here's Batman pouring silicone. This is actually the 2nd run after I figured out that my 1st hoof design wouldn't cast without having bubbles in the tips of the hooves. I ended up doing a 3rd and it finally worked.
Here's the 1st run with all of the blocks poured.
24 hours later I popped these out of the cups.
After pouring resin for some time this was the result. (This is before sanding and with the 1st run of botched hooves).
Here's Jenna sanding the feet.
And tonight she drilled into the blocks, twisted wire and assembled the first armature. We have decided to cut down the neck so I'm not going to show it yet, but it will be here soon. (That and images of the materials I forgot and prices of new materials).
Beyond this, I met with one of the people interested in helping on my film, 3 more people contacted me bringing my crew up to 12, I did the research needed to purchase wigs and went ahead and did that, I'm in the process of getting info on doll eyes, foam build-up will start soon, the fur is being sent (both ordered and my great aunt's old coat), an airbrush is being sent so that I can do some nice, soft detailing and I think that's it. It's been a lot so I may be forgetting things. Oh, tomorrow I meet with Mohamed (who I mentioned in an earlier post) to talk about the score and on Sunday, Oct. 25th, I will be @ the "Students Helping Students Session: Stop Mo Puppets" @ Montgomery Hall RM: 311. It runs from 4-6pm and I will be there the whole time, so come hang out if you can. :-P
