My First Gif

I made my first gif file from an animation test I did last summer.  What you see here is a first look of a short project I'm developing, that I'll start making when I'm done with my web series, Stress Inc.

Set Details

Here's a couple of set details from the set of Stress Inc.  These are the posters in Fred's office.  I made them in Photoshop and printed them out.  The push pins are made from Sculpey, baked, and glued on.  In the episodes they may not be that noticeable, but I think they're a fun little piece in the background.  I've found in stop-motion, the smallest details can go a long way to building your world.  Sometimes it doesn't take much.

A Tiny Book

     Here's a picture of a mini book I made for the next episode of Stress Inc. The hardcover is illustration board taped together with some strong white tape.  I made the cover in Photoshop and glued the inside flaps to the cover.  There's also several pieces of paper cut to size and glued in the center to make up the pages of the book.  I was definitely inspired by Wallace and Gromit and all the funny book titles Gromit (the dog) is often reading such as "Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dogtoevsky."

Onwards

The script is written, the set is freshened up, and dialog recorded.  There's a bit of work to do on the puppet and a few props to make.  The fourth and final episode of Stress Inc. is underway!  Keep checking here for progress on the epic conclusion!
