This page's goal is to demonstrate the crafting skills I have picked up over time.
I am a passionate stop-motion prop and set builder. I sculpt, paint models and create dioramas. Thanks to my animation degree and my own experience and experiments, I have been able to acquire a various skillset for all things tiny.
Stop-motion specific
I made a film with 3 wire frame puppets for the Brawl for the Relic short film. To make it a reality I learned:
-
Camera set up and rigging
-
Creating harmonized modular set pieces and props
-
Wire puppets with replacement limbs
-
Milliput modelling for hands and pin-down feet
-
Quick rigs for flying props
-
Rig removal (on After effects)
-
Editing and colour adjustments (on After effects)
Model/character making
I have created knights and monsters that have been brought to life by:
-
Clay and foam modelling and sculpting
-
Latex wrapping and painting
-
Precision masking and spray painting
-
Plastic shaping for armour
