Making of Stop Motion Animation

Third day, good day

I did first working shot. I like to put my puppets to work. Simple work looks fantastic and can have interesting meanings. The working is very fast and simple. You will see. Then there was a shots with letters. Postman brought the letters to the table and one letter drops to the floor. Postman was again little bit a problem. I do not want to show the whole postman and then I was not sure how I am going to bring the letters to the table. In the end I made panning with the postman and it came good, maybe bit funny.

Letters were a bit pain in the ass, they are so small and light that putting them to the table was quite tricky . Dropping the letter from the table on the other hand was easy. Still I end up do it twice, because first time it was bit too fast and there was no finesse in the move. Little injury also happen, male character break his arm. Though that was expected I was very naive to think that the arm with only thin metal string will last. Next time I´ll get proper armature to work with, I am fed up metal string armatures.

Here is my set or one of them, the others do not exist yet.
