Dinosaurs in forest: Stop motion dinosaur

[Firebrdsuite]

How'd you do this? Where'd you get the models?

[artguy53]

Good work!!

[Tabelvis]

Looking good, did you tape the feathers on?

[TheCyberController]

Thanks

I glued the feathers (and fur) on to the foam of the puppet with hot melt glue. It seems to have held alright. Although tape might have been stronger.

[TheSavagePellucidar]

Hey! Thats cool! Very nice!

[TheCyberController]

Thanks.

This was only a short preview for a new film I'm doing at the moment. Hope you can see it.

[newtimesmedia]

pretty cool.

[TheCyberController]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I'm thinking of making a sort of dinosaur doco using stop motion and this was a short test for it.

[newtimesmedia]

yeah i am 2, but CGI using poser 7. can't wait 2 c ur doco.

[Dinobot2468]

how did u make the bird im trying to make one for my movies

[LOPONUMER]

Where those suppose to be oviraptors?

[TheCyberController]

No, more like, early evolutionary ground dwelling bird similar to Gastornis. I guess they look a bit like the oviraptors in a way.

[LOPONUMER]

Yeah, exept for the tail...

[JesseRex1]

very cool!

[TheCyberController]

Thank you.

What did you think of the bird dinosaur, I was going for an evolutionary medium between one of early dinosaurs and a flight-less bird. Pity though all the non-avian dinosaurs are extinct today. If only we could build a time machine and travel 65 million years to bring them back. It would make filming them a lot easily.

[JesseRex1]

the bird looking dinosaur looked awesome!!!! to make it more dinosaur like add small peg like teeth. :)

~JesseRex1

[TheCyberController]

Good idea. Unfortunately there are several problems with putting teeth on the bird-dinosaur. One would be that the puppet itself is to small for teeth to be added. Another problem is that the ancestors of birds had no teeth, even though they evolved from dinosaurs, they developed from tooth-less ancestors some time in the early Jurassic.

Thanks for the idea though. I might use it in a future film if I need to make a more primitive bird-dinosaur.

[pie4every1]

definately cool. i've really meant to get to work on my model but just haven't had time :P

[TheCyberController]

Thanks

It sounds great your making some models for animation. Keep going and I hope to see any of your films.

[dubblestein]

cool man, check mine out.

[TheCyberController]

Thanks

Yours looks good also. Nice use of cotton wool for smoke effects.

Cant wait to see these in another film! Great work once again!

[TheCyberController]

Thanks, I hope to make the finished film for this in about June or December

[pyroman1000k]

A cool beans

[TheCyberController]

Thanks, (I think), I'm not sure of that phrase, but I assume it's a compliment.

[pyroman1000k]

it is, just like saying this is total tits. (also good :D)

[Medievalfilms]

those came out great. What did you use to make the feathers?

[TheCyberController]

For the feathers I used material fur and real feathers on the arms.

I have to agree the green screen did a really good job.

[Medievalfilms]

thanks

[mujawooja]

this is looking very good

[TheCyberController]

Thanks mujawooja

I think youtube hates my animation. It always makes it look jerky and it gets rid of all the detail I put in it.

[Dragonlordmike]

your feathers work really well, not to much boiling, what did you end up using and what scale are your models, 12", 16"? is it green screen too?

[TheCyberController]

I ended up using material fur for the body and real feathers on the arms. The armature was to simple for any complex rigging systems. Although it didn't get much boiling, I think next time I'll use hair spray to stop it moving.

The bird model is about 10 - 15 cm tall and 10 cm long. The nightmare-a-saurus is about 25 cm tall and 35 cm long.

Yeah it was all green screen (other wise the nightmare-a-saurus wouldn't have fit in the same shot).

[bluworm]

Still a lot better than most stop-mo clips here on YouTube!

[TheCyberController]

Thanks Richard

I know it's not perfect (the animation is way to fast). Although I did make in an hour so I'm happy how it came out. I think I might have over graded the back ground a bit to much though.

[FrozenGothic]

Nice.

[TheCyberController]

Thanks!
