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

@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.

That was awesome!

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

@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.

@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.

Wow! you are as good as Harryhausen

@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.

@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?

@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.
