Working on Calico Bird (Nancy O. Graham)

We have been recently working on the character the Calico Bird, who is made out of felt and patches all over her. The Calico Bird's sequence script is in the page entitled "Another World", so you can read that part of the movie's script.

Concept art

These photos are of what we want the scene of Jim and Mikko imprisoned to look like.

These photos are for future reference for how the camera is going to be positioned, what the character's eyes and mouth should be, and how everything should be placed. The top picture shows when Mikko and Jim get dragged away by the Darkenhertz, and the second one of Mikko and Jim in the Darkenhertz's cage.

We now have the eyes!

Success! Success! Jim's face is now officially started! Yay! We can't contain our excitement here at Animated Button studios! Jim is looking surprised at how much he looks surprised! Ha ha ha. We still need the mouth, though. And the replaceable eyes.

We got our wigs

We finally got Jim's wig, and so have proceeded to make his face,stuff his body, make his armature and the like. We have taken these photos to show our progress. The movie ishardly done, but it is taking small baby steps to a big movie.

Production Shots

Here are some new photos of what we've done so far. First photo is of Jim's completed costume, and the picture on the bottom is the Darkenhertz next to his conseption art.

NEW MOVIE!

We have decided to work with F.B.W.'s amazing studio space to create a stop-motion picture called Another Life. We have been stalled in the making, though, because our wigs for the characters haven't arrived yet.
