Getting Ready Before pre-production

What I did yesterday, to start off with, was to sort out the backgrounds. The backgrounds that I printed out were not big enough to fit in the box set, so I had to reprint some backgrounds off in A4 then I enlarged them to A3 so that they would fit in my box set. 

I then worked on sculpting the teepees (stone caves) out of Plasticine. This is to give my sets some effect and these are where the cavepeople and the prehistoric animals (including the protagonist Fazuki) lived. I had a little problem with the teepee. At first, they were not stable, as Play-doh was added to the first one, but the made bricks were not sticking, so I put the play-doh back and continued to find more of the plasticine to combine it all together, including the square pieces as the wall and the thin pieces as the roof. I needed to reference these shelters based on stone age times and the straw houses based on The Three Little Pigs. This worked correctly, as Plasticine is stronger than Play-doh.

I am a big fan of dinosaurs and caveman. I wanted to make a feature that no one would ever create and that was based on the stone age. The idea for the characters and the reason why I wanted to use card to make the characters, because I learned how to draw characters out of card, when I was at Flycheese Productions as Parson Cross, Sheffield. I was 17 years old when I did my first project out of card, The Familiar Trapsite, which I created and animated back in 2014. The card characters were mainly inspired by the 1970s series, Paddington Bear .  https://www.youtu...

Behind the Scenes of Kubo

Jordan Tyler-Love                                     10.1.18-16.1.18 Behind the Scenes of Kubo -To prepare for the movie they made sure that they would introduce the characters to tell the story, that they would have enough clay to give enough examples for the characters to show their expressions and feelings. -They shoot around 43 frames a day.  -It takes around at least 2 or 3 years to get the movie into production and to create the characters, personalities, lighting, art, layout and background. Including the Celebs/Voice actors in the recording booth. -You need to have the right pieces of equipment, you need the correct research with fits in and relates to the story. Making sure you have the right tools to get the characters in motion. This is called a metal skeleton. Making sure that a background (scenery) is needed and that is painted/sketched neatly. - A dope sheet, or an X...
