Sensations Of The Seasons : Animators Diary 3

The set for the Sensations of the Seasons animation is really coming alive now. I bought some wood strips yesterday for the stage..  I cut them up randomly and painted them brown. I also bought some gold paint to colour the divide/edging (whatever you call it). I then glued down the wood creating the stage. I’ve also started making the main character of Sensations of the Seasons.. ‘Unzi’.Using a drill, I spun together some bendy wire (this will be used for Unzi’s body). Spinning the wire together makes it stronger yet still flexible. I then soldered the wire together forming his under frame. Then I cut up and sowed together some black felt to form Unzi’s clothes. Next I’ll pad out his body with cotton wool… then work on forming his head and hands.
