This weekend we shot cut-out stop motion for our end-credits. Center for Animation and Pædagogik was kind enough to lend us their equipment. Thank you!

My first scene for the film. It's where Flap is back to the practice area for the first time since the accident.

Here is a test sample from Animation Lead, Lars Kristian. We are all still trying to figure out the exact animation style, but I think this one is going in the right direction. Yeehaw.

This is the final line-up of the characters in the midst of some fun times. Just foolin'. This started out as a size comparison test, that devolved into some joint scaling shannanigan's. Perhaps it is not even worth posting... but here it is.

This back-shot gives a better idea of how the bump-map looks on things like the hat and pants. It also shows the marbley finish on Flap's noggin.

Hello. Been a while since a post, so I figured I'd show what Flap looks like textured.

I wanted his skin to have a diffused clay like texture, his clothes to be photo textures and just a slight shine on his beak. All of this coming together to to try and make him look like a miniature in a stop-motion cartoon. There's still subtle tweaking to be had, but this is pretty much what he'll end up looking like.

Here's a quick dirty render of Neil. Everything is still work in progress, although the model is getting close.

Here's my take on the rural area. It still needs some tweaks, feel free to leave comments.

Synopsis

2009-10-02T13:08:00.002+02:00

This is the story of Flap, a young finch that practices flying with his two friends Neil and Zippy. Returning to the group after a bad accident, Flap discovers that he has a terror of jumping off of their normal practise rock. As staying grounded for the rest of his life is not an option, he finds a way to blast himself into the sky, and past the wall of fear he has been having.

Zippy's House

2009-09-24T16:13:00.001+02:00

Zippy's House. This is my suggestion for where Zippy could live with his parents and 10 identical brothers and sisters. The house is patched up with different elements, that the family has come about, during the years, the romantic railing at the front, Zippy's mom found in the junk yard, and thought is was too sweet to waste. She is sort of atatched to it now, because it's someting that is her addition to the house, and sometimes she can feel a little lost and unappresiated by the rest of the family.
