Week 4
Pitching
Tuesday Pitch
So with a catch-up pitch happening on Tuesday, we were working hard to get the presentation ready and filled with our concept art, animatic and design plans.
Plans after Tuesday are to really get going with pre-production work and ultimately begin to head towards animating.

Foley Design
Steph and Nick, our foley design team worked hard at creating sounds for our animatic. With a recent introduction to foley, we learnt that many sounds can be created using fairly simple objects. In one of the pictures above you can see Steph creating sound for a watermelon rolling into a hole using just an apple and a cup. These sounds can be heard over at our animatic tab. So with a future foley workshop coming up, we can expand on our sound skills and really improve our animatic and final film.
Model Making Workshop
So this week in our puppet making workshops we began to skin our puppets. This is done using latex and a foam cover. The hand is built up with layers of the latex to create a skin like look. The way that we did the hands ended with more of a cartoony result, but using slightly thinner foam you can manage to create some very realistic looking hands.
As you can see here, this is a final skinned hand, ready to be joined onto the rest of the puppet.
