Usually our armatures are covered by plasticine, silicone or fabrics but occasionally we get to see them being animated "naked" as it were! Here are some stop motion animated sequences of our ProPlus Armature in all its glory.
To achieve the effects seen in the above video, where the armature is animated jumping into the air, consider paring the armature with a rig. See our range of stop motion rigging systems.
While animators bring characters to life frame by frame, animation editors are the quiet architects shaping the story behind the scenes. In animation, editing starts before a single frame is drawn, using storyboards, animatics, and sound to build the foundation of the film. From timing and pacing to continuity and collaboration, the editor ensures every scene flows seamlessly. If you're detail-oriented, creative, and passionate about storytelling, animation editing could be your perfect role in the production pipeline.
Bid on Original Aardman Puppets
Original Aardman puppets, props and artworks are heading to auction to mark the studio's 50th anniversary. You could own a piece of British stop-motion history!
We recently came across the fascinating (and fiery) history of the original Harbutt’s Plasticine factory. After a catastrophic factory fire in 1963 caused by melted plastic piping, a landmark legal case followed, reshaping how liability and damages are handled in English contract law. A must-know tale for anyone who loves Plasticine or obscure legal precedents.
