BDM124, stop-motion, 7 and 14 September

I need pictures for these blog entries!

I gave the kid puppet eyelids, closed, and an arm for clutching Stuffie.  I set up the bed and put the fabric on it, with pillows.

I was nominated as project leader for the object animation segment of the film so am now telling people what to do, probably with too many stabby finger gestures.  I did some decoration of the Bear, and cleaned up the sewing around Stuffie's limbs.  He's a knitted fabric and will unravel if those bits don't get captured.  I bought embroidery floss and faceted buttons for him.  So far, I've spent $7 on this caper.  Must start making those stabby finger gestures at team's wallets and ignore Ken when he says he's hungry.

Anna sewed up Stuffie and installed Ken's armature.  Ken sewed up Bear, installed the armature he made and made a really nice sword from popsicle stilts.  He also made Bear a little leather sword belt, with buckle!  Kenway Kim for all your toy's sartorial needs.  Anna made the ends of the bed and covered them with wallpaper. Ken made what will turn into a bedside chest of drawers soon.  Ryan made a mobile that Ken isn't happy with but forward!  We must move forward and this is the only thing that Ryan has done in weeks other than half a sword (which was Ken's job) and a few lines on paper for the headboard pattern.  Stabby finger gestures and a direct glare from my wonky eyeball will not move him; but maybe next week.   Ken covered the frames that I glued together with wallpaper.  It's bubbling and we'll have to see what that looks like in camera.  It may need camouflaging with a window or picture frames or something.

I said this was our last day in the Tin Shed because we need to start animating next week.  I may be totally full of crap, though.  Sigh.  Ken now says that the animated sequence for the fight isn't perfect and he needs to do more drawing.  Hop to it, my man!  I will see if he can work on that this weekend.
