when you animate your models do you nail their feet to whatever your working on? or do you have an other method you use so they don't fall down?

Hey there,

I also sent this to you in an email.

There is a nut inside each foot. The set floor is covered with holes. I simply put a bolt with a wingnut on it through the hole near the foot, and screw it into the foot from the bottom of the foot. The wingnut is then tightened to the table on the underside.

I hope this all made sense to anybody reading.

Thanks for watching,

Tim

Another interesting short! Do you still have the t-rex with you?

@Gragorathegiantsnowb

Thanks, and the T-Rex is just a skeleton now, just like the real Dinosaurs.

Thanks for watching,

Thanks Paul,

This was a long time ago, but it was fun learning all this stuff. I really kind of miss doing stuff on film.

Thanks again for the kind words,

Hey there,

Yes I am working on a new film now, but it will take several more months to finish. I still have many old films that I will put on line from time to time.

Thanks for watching.
