Puppet making

I have started to make some progress with making my main character’s puppet. I have made the main body out of polystyrene and have twisted wires for the skeleton and limbs of the puppet whilst attaching it to the body with the plastic cases of biro pens and also using them for the “bones” of the puppet.

For the monsters armature as the only thing that will be visible, will be the limbs. So I had twisted a thicker wire to make bigger and longer hands and claws. For the claws I had sculpted them out of miliput. I had also wrapped the wire in black wool and will be painting it brown and grey to give it a more grizzly monster look and will also be painting the claws greyish black colour.

Set making

Make shift and rough draft of the set – the characters room. I made this to really just plan out the placing of things around the room and how much space i would need for the character to move around during the film and how big i needed to make everything in comparison to everything else around it. And also figuring out how the character would be able to interact with its surroundings.
