Once upon a blue moon
"Love it! So much personality from such simplicity - even in the wide shot at the beginning where the little blue guy was tiny in the frame, he was bursting with character. Every frame helps tell the story, every element is just right."

Steve Boot replied to Jasmine Best's discussion Stand Up style Cut out armatures
"I would imagine you would need to use some good quality thick card rather than paper. Maybe be prepared for them to break and have some extras at the ready. Would you need armatures on every joint? You might be able to use tacky wax on…"

I've made a mold for my robot hands, I'm just using whats quick and and available so it's made out of silicone. Probably not ideal as its going to be a silicone on silicone mold, but I'm assured that as long as I spray on lots of J wax (or whatever release agent in the cupboard) it should be okay.

We're just winding down on a new series at work and its becoming unusually quiet, so I came up with a really simple idea for a short mini series. The idea was to make it as simple as possible, one set and a couple of easy to make characters.
My idea was about a robot and a crab living on a small remote island, so I quickly mocked up the robot character.…
