Jabberwocky

[gusbest1]

this is my favourite but I think you should of added a scene were the headless jabberwocky falls over.

[bluworm]

@gusbest1 Actually I didn't want to make the film too gruesome. The chopping off of the Jabberwock's head was made a bit tongue-in-cheek. That's the style I was going after.

[gusbest1]

@bluworm ok

I was thinking of the falling over part to make it look ray harryhausen style ending. He usually made the death long especially with the dinosaurs with the waging of the tail and death roars.

[gusbest1]

@bluworm

what program do you use and do you use blue / green screens do you know if adobe after effects is good for blue screens?

I want to do a test stop-motion in various layers and I want to add lightning and rain.

[MagniMagnadi]

Wow! you are as good as Harryhausen

[Danzilla1996]

That was awesome!

[bluworm]

@Danzilla1996  Thanks! The image quality could certainly be improved upon.

[Godzilla5alien]

This is actually very entertaining! :) did you do the animation? i loved it!

[bluworm]

@Godzilla5alien Thanks! Yes, I did all of the animation and built the puppets.

[funzo24]

I love it haha :) good job?

[lapopo13]

trippy



[carlosuchiha9876]

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!

CONGRATULATIONS FROM BAC



[Madhatter1903]

I see you add ed some of Wonderland to your film, the disappearing cat in the tree references the Cheshire Cat, the giant teapot references the mad tea party, the sleeping chess man resembles the sleepling Red King, the smoking mushroom references the hookah smoking blue caterpillar and I love the references you made! :)

[bluworm]

@Madhatter1903 Actually, I didn't do that much thinking about any proper references. This is supposed to be an age long before Alice stepped through the looking glass. I just added stuff on instinct, what I thought would fit in or look cool. Glad to hear that I managed to do that!

[ShizoMoses]

Hej, är det kanske möjligt att jag kan få texten av dikten? För att av alla översättningar av Jabberwocky jag tycker mest om den här.

Jag tyckte också mycket om Stop Motion i videon. Mycket bra gjort!

Och förlåt min svenska. Jag bara började att läsa det för 1 1/2 år sedan

[bluworm]

@ShizoMoses Visst! Men jag skickar den till din inbox istället. Jag tror det blir för mycket text att skriva här.

[LostInMyFantasies]

Haha jag fick en chock när jag hörde en svensk röst (;

Detta är skitbra :D <3

Men jag gillar inte översättningen på The Vorlpal-Sword och Jabberwocky (; Jag kommer ihåg att jag läste den engelska versionen först, så det kändes konstigt att läsa ord som Tjatterskott (;

Fast egentligen så är den jätte bra ;) det är bara att all sorts översättning förvirrar mig =P

Älskar videon ^^

[bluworm]

@LostInMyFantasies Tack för det :) Det här är min egen översättning, eftersom jag inte helt gillade någon jag läst på svenska. Jag föredrar också den engelska versionen. Nu i sommar ska jag och några vänner göra en kort, lite annorlunda version av Alice i Underlandet/Spegellandet. Hoppas du kommer att gilla den också.

[LostInMyFantasies]

@bluworm Jag anade det, eftersom den här översättningen är super ^^

Japp, det ska bli kul (;

[wilsonrussell44]

@bluworm was the armature for the jabberwoky from armaverse?

[bluworm]

@wilsonrussell44 No, I bought it from a guy who made armatures out of aircraft aluminum. Can't remember his name right now. I'm not sure he's still making them.

[wilsonrussell44]

@bluworm if i made a mold for a trex puppet how would i make it because you cant get the legs out when you pour in the foam or liquid latex

[bluworm]

@wilsonrussell44 You'll have to make a mold in at least three parts, probably more. I'll mail you a link to a page explaing this process (since YouTube won't let me post the link here).

[wilsonrussell44]

@bluworm thanks but i already am getting help from someone else but could you tell me how to keep the parts of a silicone mold from touching each other since it is a 3 part mold ?

[bluworm]

@wilsonrussell44 You need some kind of relaese lubricant. I'm not sure, but Vaseline might work. There are ready-made silicone release agents available. Smoothon.com has all the info on that.

[wilsonrussell44]

@bluworm thanks and i am trying to make a silicone mold for a trex and i already have the mold planned out but if i make a 3 part mold since you have to make a seperate peice for the legs how would you get the toes out since 2 of the toes are fully covered in silicone?

[bluworm]

@wilsonrussell44 You'd probably have to make yet another mold piece for the underside of your puppet's feet. Some don't and just let the foam set under the feet, having the underside of the puppet's toes not covered with mold material. You can always add more detailing over your cast puppet, like under its feet. In fact, it's difficult getting all the details of your puppet just i one casting. Most puppet builders add more stuff after the puppet is cast.

[silverakantor]

and I though the jabbawocky looked nasty before. THATS just terrifying

[bluworm]

@silverakantor Thanks! A monster's job is to be as terrifying as possible. I'll pass your compliment on to my Jabberwock.

[silverakantor]

@bluworm Id hate to see it in my dream thats for sure

[JesseRex1]

i think the jabberwocky is your best puppet! it looks so cool! i went to your website and based my allosaurus puppet armature off of the jabberwocky armature. :)

[bluworm]

@JesseRex1 The Jabberwocky is, perhaps my most complex puppet so far, with the ball-and-socket armature and all the moving parts. I'm glad to hear that you could use him as inspiration for your own work :)

[477530]

Gute Arbeit. :o)

[TheWildStar11]

the animation is absoluddly brilliaentt! it suits the poem to a T! the narration is really lovely, its fascinating to hear my favorite nonsense poem in another language! the only thing that lets this piece down is the young boy actor, i can see he had alota fun and good on him! but im afraid it makes the whole thing hard to get into.

having said that, its still freaking brillient work!

thanks for sharing!

[bluworm]

@TheWildStar11 Thanks! I do think that Björn (the boy) makes a pretty OK hero in this context. I told the two actors (friends of mine) to overdo it, in order to fit into the crazy settings and the animation. So the blame is mine if you don't like him.

[eddiminus]

Amazing work! great creature models and animation. Just love it!

[bluworm]

Thanks! I'm very happy to hear that this little film keeps on entertaining people!

[Soria89Swedish]

coolt!^^ bra effekter

[bluworm]

Tackar!

[GingerAnne]

WOW lots of talent you have!!! Very impressive. If only we could work together, we could make a beautiful film!

[bluworm]

That "WOW" blew my hair right back!! Thanks! I'd love to collaborate, if we can find a way to do it.

[GingerAnne]

I will be needing someone like you in the future. So it would be great to keep in contact. Feel free to do the same. You never know where it could lead us. Cheers and good luck and I will be watching.

-GingerAnne

[zerothedragon]

pretty cool. my favirote poem.

[bluworm]

One of my favorites too!

[APDurrant]

Very Impressive, even though I don't speak swedish.

[bluworm]

The poem is weird enough to translate without any words, I hope.

[amitamaru]

That razzberry makes it pretty clear what the Jabberwocky was thinking.

"I hate that story."

[bluworm]

Yes; He's probably pretty fed up with being reminded about that :)

[LURTSCH]

awesome monsters!

[bluworm]

Thanks! They're made with love :)

[reidevjord]

Haha, that was truly awesome and insane!

[bluworm]

Thanks! That's the best critique I could hope for!

[Luckiestarz84]

bluworm are you swedish yourself?

[bluworm]

You bet I am! Jajamänsan :D

[Newsfop]

I had no idea that a nonsense poem could be translated. That's some talent! Amazing rendering on the woodland scenes too. I love the surreality.

[bluworm]

Well, I did the translation myself and I think it turned out pretty well. I actually did this for a book of nonsense poetry I wanted to publish in Sweden. Hasn't happened yet -one day, perhaps. Glad you liked the film! It was both difficult and great fun to to. A growing and learning experience.

[jethir]

Great, this video ripped of my head, compressed it and send into last sunday. Love that animation, and sound of your voice.

[bluworm]

Thanks for that amazing comment!

I'm not doing the narration actually -Beatrice (the girl appearing at the start and the end) is. She's supposed to be a teenaged Alice (in Wonderland).

[TheSavagePellucidar]

I love this video! Simply phantastic!

[bluworm]

Thanks for that! It's a labor of love, you know.

[RabbitDance]

it is in other languages?! AWESOME!

[bluworm]

Jabberwocky's probably translated into lots of languages. This is my own translation into Swedish.

[KitKale]

Wow, the animation is incredible!

[bluworm]

Thank you! I'm not really happy with it but I'm learning by doing.

[nothernlassie]

Genius

Truly great

You are incredibly talented!

This really is the best thing I've seen for years

Thank you!

[bluworm]

Thank you! An amazing comment! =)

[JesseRex1]

I absolutely love your animations, could you give me instructions on how to build an allosaurus and a brontosaurus and triceratops please :) THANKS!

[bluworm]

Thanks! I'll be sending you a message to your inbox with some basic info. Then you can ask me about any specifics.

[Jeffkun]

I must admid that I haven't understood any words, but it's a very beautiful adaption! O_O

[richragsdale]

great characters!

[Cockmongler]

LOL!!! 2:38 is the "aaargh" from Falling Techno

[philman2085]

Girl at the beginning is a hottie

[m102460]

what the F!CK

[amarbleinspace]

what language is this?

[theyakkoman]

Är det så den låter på svenska? Tror jag föredrar orginalet.

 Schysst jobb dock.

[KyoSohma221]

One of my all-time fave poems.

[FleaCircusDirector]

My favourite adaptation of Jabberwocky so far on Youtube

[igloocookie]
