Creating a puppet.

This week is going beyond fast! I am creating our main character for animation testing next week and Tobias is working on the storyboard.

The rabbit is the right size but it is only for testing. It's mainly to learn how to build a wire puppet, and test animate it with light and surroundings.
Tobias and I had the fortunate experience to meet with a puppet animator from Aardman. There were a lot of solutions, but most of them were expensive, and we don't have a whole lot of money. Still it was nice to hear what he had to say, those Aardman people know what they are doing. Another promising project is the rig, not a rig like the one standing beside our little clay puppet. But a rig build by Tobias' dad, which should be able to hold our little hero, while jumping and running.
