Show and tell

Today we had a show and tell session of what we have been doing and what we are interested in. 
I chose to show my puppets and armatures, as I have been learning about how to make puppets for my PPP as it's what I am really interested in, and applying it for one of my other modules. 
So far I have been looking at shadow puppet animations made from black paper on a light box, wooden puppets and also puppets made from metal armatures with silicone or latex to build the bodies. I showed my armatures that I have built, as well as the latex foam face that I was practicing with. 

Puppets for Stop Motion animation are really interesting to me and I find the whole process of making them exciting. I have learnt so far how to manipulate some of the materials used, although I still need to expand on my knowledge a lot.

Showreel planning.

I have been thinking about what to put on my showreel. It is recommended that we put 10 pieces of work in, but they don't all have to be animations. Because of this I was thinking that I would put in:

• The food documentary
• The character and narrative pirate moom
• My E4 and discovery channel idents from last year
• The Robot Dance from last year
• My 87 bingomation animation
• My 11 second club animation
• And then I would put in my puppets from my food documentary animation which brings me up to 9 things in my showreel.

I cannot think of a tenth thing to include at the moment but I will put these 9 together and choose some music and have a think about the tenth.
