Hand crazy: take 2

So here is a quick animation with the second attempt hand. The hand came out ok, but could be better. There is a discrepancy in the lighting, something to work at as well. I have some script re visioning to do in the mean time. Though will have some tests up with the silicone rubber, and some test heads for the female lead coming up.

Walking to Wai

I decided to make a stop-motion video on our way to breakfast yesterday morning. I was inspired by an experimental film that I saw recently shot in the same way. Jon said it reminds him of Google maps.

Constructing Test Arms - Time Lapse

Here is a time lapse of me constructing arms and hands out of aluminum wire, epoxy putty, and cloth string. These will later be encased into rubber latex.

Hand Test

Hand animation test. Quick exercise is movement, the hand (modeling clay). Shot @ 24 fps on stills from a canon point and shoot.
