Character Design: Chroma

The monster, or antagonist, of my film is a drawing of Charlie's that is accidentally brought to life. This is called the Chroma. Here is a rough model sheet I have done of him- His design is still not final.


He is going to be animated traditionally (frame by frame) in Flash CS6 and compiled onto the stop motion footage in After Effects. I feel that with this technique it will effectively convey that this creature is not of the same world.

Character Design: Charlie

The main character of my film is Charlie & he is the only puppet I am actually fabricating for this production (everything/everyone else will be animated afterwards in Flash).



Specs:
• 12'' tall
• Ball & Socket Armature
• Cast plastic head
• Hands cast in silicone, painted details.
• Faux-fur wig


This is the first attempt in approaching a puppet in a completely 'feature' and 'professional' way. However, since I want to be a puppet fabricator, I think it would be an excellent exercise in honing a skill set relevant to the industry.
