Blue Dinosaur Animation
Artist Statement:
“I am a Stop Motion Animator.
I start with concept art and drawings then storyboard my plan for the film before before building film sets out of Styrofoam or wood and then moving onto the puppets themselves. The puppets start out in life as a metal ball and socket armature skeleton from which cotton and sponge is used to create muscles and body mass and then latex or silicone rubber is used to create the skin.
Then I make the film, one frame at a time, moving the puppets a small amount for each frame, creating the illusion of movement”
Medium & Specialty: Stop Motion Animation
Sun Pier Resident Since: 2016
“My Stop Motion Animation work before coming to Sun Pier was a solitary experience. Now I see fellow artists whenever I’m in which can be all times of the day. It’s great to have neighbours with advice and even an extra set of hands for large tricky creations”
