Week 22

I now have a desk in the Butler Building!

(oh and I had my calendar on January for about a week now and was getting all my days/dates confused)

The weeks are going by so fast I can't even remember what I have been doing lately.  Tomorrow my stop-mo film "Bored Girl" will be screened at the Bijou thanks to my friend Bertha who told me about the "Mi Gente" screening where they will be showing work of Hispanic/all Latin students work.  And they put me right after Quique, the best stop-mo guy here dammit! (and spelled my name wrong, and it was a 1:00 min film but 4! but thanks!)

We had 1 week to make an armature in Chiodo's Stop-Mo Direction and Performance class, and 1 week to fabricate it. Our first assignment was a pose test, no less than 10 pics, to tell a story with your puppet (no animating just keyframing) 

Here are a few pics of my armature/puppet.

In my Miniature Patterns class we are building a puppet piece by piece and eventually are going to make the clothes for it.  This week we started building the head here's mine in progress:

Next week we are going to make Hats!

This is my test for my Alternative Stop-mo where we had to bring in a block of ice to melt.  I used candles, drops of wax, and gummy bears.

Oh yeah!  Me, my roommate and a few others bought tickets for this!

It sold out within 2 mins and luckily my fast bidding ebay skills paid off!
