Second day brought some problems
Second day did not went as well as the first animating day. The first shot went fine, but then the problems started. There is a shot where postman is pushing a mail cart. That was the problem. My idea to use spikes in the puppets feet and use cork floor in the set, did not work out so well when you move puppets. Though I must say that otherwise those spikes have been useful. Okay, walking was bit hard, like alway. But then the puppet was suppose to crap the cart handlers and that was surprisingly difficult because the fingers did have a metal wires inside and plasticine on that. So they were too stiff and because mail cart is quite light it start moving very easily when you try to animate the crabbing. In the end I made another hands with plasticine only and they work pretty okay even I did have to make them bigger.
Some mail to the cart
