character making

I drew out an armature on the character design Katy had done, and printed it at the correct size that the character will be. I used wire and paper to create an armature and build up the character before adding plasticine. some parts I had to adjust slightly from the design in order to cover the wire and support the character to stand. 

Set making - Walls

To make it so we could have removeable walls to have different camera angles, I had to come up with a way to do this.

My final thought was to groove out the base so that the walls can sit in them. After discussing this with John from woodwork, he said this would be the best way to do it and helped us pick the right size mdf in order for us to work with it.

The front and back sides are 6mm mdf, this was so we could laser cut the windoe design I did into it. the other two sides are 9mm for more support and the base 18mm so it is sturdy to hold the walls in place. 

the walls are slightly stiff to move in and out, but this is only to start with we are assured.
