3D printing stop-motion puppets for an animated feature film Even Mice Belong in Heaven🎥

Earlier this year, a new family animated feature film Myši patří do nebe (Even Mice Belong in Heaven) debuted at the international movie festivals. The movie was created by the Czech company Fresh Films. So far the movie is enjoying favorable reviews and we are very proud to play a certain role in its creation. Namely, we are talking about a trio of the Original Prusa i3 MK3 printers that were acquired by Fresh Films in the summer of 2018. As for the advantages of 3D printing in the filming industry - unlike with classic hand-made puppets, it makes quick and accurate duplication of components possible. Also, you can pretty much develop everything by trial and error, given the ability to make cheap ad-hoc adjustments. It’s basically the same rapid prototyping we know from other lines of business.

Czech animation, still rocking after all these decades.

Great work! One of my favorite stop motion films ever. Can't wait to see more from the team!

[@jasonbailey9139]

That is amazing! Now I need to add that movie to my "to watch" list.

[@malakimphoros2164]

3D printing as a tool for art should become more popular

[@planckstudios]

I agree - I think the cost and technical barriers are slowly coming down

[@kinematic_InMotion]

Awesome!

[@Mirinovic]

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

Josef makes great voiceovers. Prusa Animated movies coming?

[@planckstudios]

The visual difference between their stop motion and cgi motion is pretty wild. Did they record them at different rates? The charm of stop motion is def in all the little variables. But seeing the smoothness of the camera movement and background elements - like the crab climbing down the wall - against the stuccato half speed animations of the main characters is pretty jarring

[@hunt0583]

Are planning on making a new version of the Original Prusa Mini+ X axis carriage that uses the new E3D Revo ecosystem? Especially the new nozzle.

[@CaptainSnackbar]

wow they are still using Softimage XSI these days

[@OscarTorresWork]

Nice when is the movie going to be released? Looks awesome!

[@MrBlakBunny]

soooo...when will the 3D print files be released :P

[@juliannasousa4289]

What is the name of the capturing reality software that you use?

[@thefriendlyaspie7984]

i wonder what do they do with all the models when they run out of space to print more models. xd

[@SaImonfungus6]

Mouse and Fox change body Mouse this fox and the fox this mouse Movie hint: Its not spoiler its hint

[@ramanant963]

I don’t get it. You guys 3D print a model, texture it physically, then reproduce it digitally to rig them and animate in the softwares!?? I understand the part that it gives a hand crafted look.. but it is still a digital animation. Only the texture is handmade. 🤷🏻‍♂️ So its not stop motion animation completely.

[@jakobwieberneit6616]

First!

[@SocratesAlexander]

please don't imitate hollywood... Czech style is so unique!
