How many frames do you do per second? i heard ray does 25 per second? and how did you make the dino puppet? did you use adobe after effects for the bluescreen thing?
@Godzilla5alien Yep, 25 frames per sec. The dino puppet has a plastic skeleton with joints made out of braided aluminum wire. This is then covered with pieces of glued-on foam rubber (for muscles) and pieces of latex skin cast in plaster molds. I used After Effects with Keylight to make the finished composition.
Great work dude, reminds me of Ray Harryhausen. Not enough folks doing stop-motion these days so it's great to see you're keeping it alive (and doing a very stylish job at it).
@rikmills Thanks! Old uncle Ray is a big influence; Yes. You just can't get around him. Even if his dinosaurs don't behave naturalistically you feel that's the way they ought to have behaved.
This is not an insult this is just advice from someone who knows a thing or two about dinosaurs the legs were much to long. try to make them a little thicker and a little shorter and it would almost look exactly like the real thing. awesome animation though. I am making a feature length stop motion I hope the animation is as smooth as yours! :)
No offense taken! I probably know a thing or two about them as well.This Triceratops is an attempt to mix the old-school bulky Harryhausen/Charles Knight animal with the more recent leaner concepts. It worked out so-so. The armature is actually based on a real (scaled-down) Triceratops skeleton.
what happened to have your hands show up? Were you using a remote frame capture or something?. Interested to know how that happened. The puppet looks great though. And then animation looks good too.
I'm using an image capture program called Stop Motion Pro. I messed up some kind of setting that made the software capture each image slower and that created the ghost image of my hands. So I had to redo that piece of animation. My friends thought it looked cool though.
Wow! amazing job! it feels like a scene from a harryhausen film

Yeah; It was a valuable experience. And I did save it for abehind-the-scenes docu.

If you don't mind my asking, what materials did you use to make the jabberwocky? Other thatn the armature.

now, this looks very good, but I dont understand why the guy in the foreground looks animated aswell. as he is a real person....

Well, he's trying to act scared shitless, so he's got the cartoon-fright-shakes. I don't think he's clattering with his teeth, though.
