hey you lot,
Fellow model maker here (modelmaker93) why dont you take some snaps of your creations and show um me I can give tips to you and you can give tips to me this is one of the 73 models i have made.
i can give tips, but dont want to show of my models yet as im doing my film, i have been modelmaking/animating since i was 12 , (6 years ago that was) so i have experience
thought id give you all a terrible shock, seeing me model making (scruffy or what!!!) oh well my models dont mind, when i need a break, i just swing round and pick up my guitar ave a coffee and back to it, conor
no, avent got alot of free time im afraid for msn, busy wiv my music, model making and i love my sport, theres not enough hours!!!! oh and of coarse hundreds of homework!!!
yes, as they are large, had quite alot of trouble trying to get it right and trying to figure it out on my own, hasnt always gone well, but i guess you learn from your mistakes!! conor
To Conty,
Really good Models Youve made are you making any other models?? I have just finished my film Called Wallace and Gromit's Halloween It isn't that good but it is ok. I am going to make another one but a christmas version wich i hope will be 10 minuets long. Good On you for Winning aswell. Also have you got any tips for me?? Here is my Video.
well done modelmaker! i liked your animation although it was short! i dont feel that i can give you advice myself as i am a bit of a amateur myself, ive only made one animation ,sorry, i guess practice makes perfect! conor.
Heres my first attempt for an animation!!!! what do you all think you can be honest and i wont be offended!! ive just put it on creations so you can view it there instead, conor
The pictures of my models on the Creations page were really small, so here is a larger one. The joke was supposed to be that the pumpkin carving went pear-shaped when the extractor went in reverse. I didn't know to use wire for anything so this is a good thread I appreciate tips people are writing.
jill your models are so good, try using some modelling wire, it does help, but be carefull how much you bend it, it can snap, but it does help with the ole standing up buisness!!!
Jills hi its me agian lol. errm no i was going to by some newplast Plastercine but i didn't i just get n ormal plastercine i think yor gromit is the right colour anyway.
Conty & jills thanks for the comments.
conty unfortunately i dont make models for a living i would dearly like to, maybe one day.
My robot i made 11yrs ago for film project, he was very heavy and clumsy which probably added to the robot feel.
My other model i made last year he has an aluminium wire skeleton with the body,legs & feet which were moulded in latex & foam, the head and hands are in plastercine with hair moulded(and baked)in fimo oven clay.
My animation has improved since i made that robot clip(in jan 2003) it is all about reading all you can about animation and practice practice practice.
A good tip is to use a stop watch and work out the timing say of a walk etc, by doing this you start to brake it all down, try acting out your animation before you do it, you will soon get a feel for it.
Wow great movie Covor What do you use to make the maddels, please pleas give me tips for making models, Animation, and io think you should have your own tv show lol
