Wow. Brilliant as usual, Alex! I was wondering when the snowman would come up! Great job on the animation, too - it is very good. I liked the "Goblin Realms Warriors" bit! Also, its dead classy that you recorded all your own sound effects.
I use wire but so far I haven't had any luck finding a specifically good one. I hear some type of aluminium wire works well, I'm trying to get some at the moment.
I use the software Stop Motion Pro and it comes with this tool called rig removal that allows you to remove wires and things that would hold up the object - making it float. I think you could probably do this in an image editor or something though :)
It's pretty difficult but i'll have a go at explaining. Basically you need a stop motion program that can line up sound with the captured images (eg monkeyjam or stop motion pro) and then listen to the one sound from an individual frame. if it is an "ah" sound, you use the "ah" mouth. Same goes for all the others. It takes a bit of practise but it works well :)
Yeah I do, but in this film the armatures were very basic because they only really had to sit down, I just adjusted it for the characters that had to walk.
I don't remember because it's been months since I ordered any, but it's newplast and I usually order it online :) they also sell it in some craft shops.
that was very funny. this is my favorite one of your claymations. overall it was just a fantastic film, but the only criticism i have is that at times the animation was pretty choppy, and the alot of the characters and props werent smooth. (but you probly already realized that) oh and what model camera did you use?
That was brilliant Alex. Really, words fail me. The way you improved your skills since I started watching your claymations is truly mind boggling. The fact that you do this in your spare time makes it even more unbelievable. You're amazing. :)
