Okay, first things first - IGNORE THE RIGS! This is pretty much a trial project to get Animation students used to the various facets of stop-motion; set and puppet design and making, actually animating the damned things, et cetera. Stop-motion, as I've found, is pretty much an uphill struggle. And totally worth it, when it's done. Now I've got a feel for it, I think if we had the time to shoot this again, it would be so much better; you can probably notice the standard of the movement improving over the course of the minute or so this lasts.
Many thanks to my talented colleagues, Matt Brooke and Charlotte White with whom I worked on this.
