Hakkebakkeskogen: Stop-motion animation bird puppets
I worked on several puppets for this stop-motion animated feature film.
Luckily I didn't have to do this on my own, we were a tree people team:
The Head of the puppet department Liliana Świrska made all the clothes, eyes.
Håvard Karlsen made the armatures and the parts for the head mechanics.
The Birds
This is a collection of images covering part of the process of making 3
similar silicone stop-motion puppets for these characters I was working on for this movie.
This includes: Sculpting all the parts of the puppet, making molds,
casting bodyparts, painting the puppet, armature design, head, and leg mechanics.
