Still Shots

Progress 1

It has been a while since the last post but I have great news.. At last all of the physical work of the set is finished!

This is my room, I have purchased the lights and the 'green' screen, which is now purple because it is the only color not in my pallet. Lucky for me purple acetate is only $2 a yard :)

I used polymer clay for the feet, but because they had to be directly added to the puppet, I made a makeshift oven with a box and a hair dryer to 'bake' the clay. 15 minutes and they were solid..

Grass

The Set

 Initially I have bought sheets of 1" corrugated cardboard that were about 3' x 4'. I have laid them out on the floor and to make the river, i cut a diagonal and separated the boards. Then, mapped out the locations of the bridge and the road. To make elevations, I glued cardboard all over the base. With all of these hills and 6 sections it adds to a total of 8' x 9' without the river.
All of this had to be taken back to my room where I will be filming. Unfortunately I HAVE NO ROOM LEFT TO LIVE.. it takes up every last space I was able to possibly give it! AGH thats with no lights and no blue screens.
For the immediate future, I will be covering the base and arranging the set...

First Assembly

AH HA I have many parts finished, so I put it all together and took a few test shots..
