CURRENT PROJECT - MR DADOU 1:7 PUPPET

My current project is taking on the role of puppet designer and puppet maker for a short stop motion animation that is taking place in Canada. It's a big challenge, but so far it has been a lot of fun. The puppet needs replacement faces (which I am 3D printing) and various props, such as a wheelchair, gardening gloves, a wedding ring, boots and a sunhat, which I am also in process of designing before making. Since he will go through many months of being animated, I will also be making replacement hands, as well as a scaled up set which will be used in a close up shot.

You can see my progress so far by clicking on the gallery to the right, which includes images of my sketch model and some test pieces (including a colour printed face). More detail on designs and process can be found below.
