This is a little chronicle of my puppet contributions to my friend Daniel Lennéer's film Vågbrytare (Wavebreaker). Check out Danny's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/lenneer
I also built the model Nautilus sub, a steampunk diver's helmet and some weird underwater plants/animals.

  • Awesome! It's just a shame the acting in the end product was awful. Your octopus is astounding though! Great job.

  • @HowfenHoe It seems nobody like the acting effort in this one! It's a film made by a friend of mine, and he doesn't mind a bit of over-the-top acting. I just supplied the animation underwater sequences and didn't meddle with his direction. It's difficult getting good amateur actors, but I try my best finding good enough talent for my own projects.

  • and how did you connect the tencecles to the octpus armature?

  • @Anacondas101 Oh, I didn't say anything about that! I use something called "Friendly Plastic" to hold the pieces of my wire armatures together. It's a thermo plastic that I melt with a hot air gun.

  • how did you get the thick wire?

  • @Anacondas101 I got it from a florist, who apparently use the thick wire for some kind of flower decorations. But I've heard that electricians that work with power line poles and the like use a similar thick aluminum wire.

  • I am very sorry for how the film turned out.

  • @genezazoe14 Many people don't know this, but Our Savior had some serious issues about octopi.
