Everything in place ready to film.
So from now until the end of April, I will be completely focused on filming.
Animation tests
Before starting to film, I did a couple of quick tests. Firstly I wanted to try a blink, as I haven't used replaceable eyes like these ones before. Also, since I added light coming through a window, I thought about what I could do with that. After writing my dissertation on Aardmans animated documentaries and talking about 'Going Equipped' I thought about how Peter Lord animated car lights going past a window. So I attempted something similar.
I don't think any of these will make it into the final film. The puppet moves too much with the blink, so I'll either have to tighten up her joints or be a lot more careful when replacing the eyes. The car lights were interesting but I don't think they are successful enough to pass as car lights and to look good in the final film.
