What You Will Learn?
- Welcome to the very first class in my new series of classes; First Steps into Stop-Motion! .
- This class, Creating a Jointed Cut Out Puppet using the Build-up Method, is a fantastic way to take your first steps into Stop-motion. Following a process I have used to create dozens of puppets for a variety of projects, you will get to design and build your own puppet! If you aren't a confident drawer, but want to take this class then don't worry, you can! The design I am using is available for you to download and use; making it easier than ever to take those first steps. .
- What else do you need to get started? Scissors, Card, Paper, Pencil Crayons, Paint and Glue will get the ball rolling! .
- So if you've always wanted to have a go at making a puppet for animation, or want to take your illustration or character design into a new area then come and join in!.
