Hakkebakkeskogen: Stop-motion animation dog puppet
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, and helped out on some of the molds.
Håvard Karlsen made the armatures and the parts for the head mechanics.
The Dog
This is a collection of images covering part of the process of making this silicone stop-motion dog puppet
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 mechanics.
