HOW TO Build the EASIEST Stop Motion Puppet EVER!

This has a "what did I just watch" combined with "Who cares, it's awesome!" vibe. Soo good.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Yes! That is the best approach to just about anything! Thank you!

“Ronni”(Jonni) is amazing. I used her recipe to create mask props for The Lion King Jr and they were kid proof. They’re lightweight and still look brand new after a few years. Thank you Jonni!

[@draken1331]

Love the video. You do great work. Piece of advise for trying heat shrink in the future. Use what is called double wall or adhesive heat shrink. it is almost solid when it cools rather than flexible like regular heat shrink. It's a bit more expensive, but not too bad. We use it in electronics to create strain relief on cable connectors. Also look into buying safety wire from some place like Harbor Freight. I think it's cheaper than so called craft wire, and it's the same stuff. While you're there look at getting you some safety wire pliers for doing things like attaching feet like at 9:09. Hope this helps.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

It certainly does help. I will look into this. Thanks for the tips!! : )

[@JoesGLI]

This was amazing! I remember my best friend and I creating LEGO stop motion videos back when we were kids in the mid 90's. A lot of work, but so much fun! Ones imagination is boundless. I wish as adults more of us took time out to do fun stuff like this. I'm going to attempt some stop motion with my nephew this coming weekend. I sent him this video and he seems super psyched for it! Thanks T Nu...

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

This is awesome!! I hope that you and your nephew create something great! Thank you! : )

[@thehappyvintagesloth9676]

Nicely done! Digging that masking tape armature.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Thanks! It's such an easy one for people to get started with. You can make puppets using masking tape that are really detailed and work amazingly. Sometimes embracing the limitations of a medium is the key! : ) Thanks again!

[@Nick08079]

Big Comment Ahead! The stop-motion was great and I want to thank you for making great content with love and care! Even though the stop-motion had no lip-sink, it was still VERY fun to watch! At the end I was really expecting her to grab the guitar and throw it in the fire, but that might just be me thinking that. Now while thinking about fire, I think it would be cool if you did a stop-motion with puppets of your friends for example, with a monster or something wondering the woods. It could start out with two pickup trucks driving down a trail, later stoping at a campsite surrounded by trees. A time lapse could go by as they built tents and get everything set up, or a time jump can go by cutting to night with you and the guys sitting by the fire telling stories. One of you can tell a scary legend about a monster lurking in the woods. And so on... (That is of course if this interests you, and by all means feel free to control the story how you want CraftsMan) Last thing, at 15:00, I think that would be one if not the best cheap way to make a mummy puppet.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Thanks man, I appreciate it! The story idea is cool, kinda like the Canterbury Tales but in the horror genre, and in the woods. : )

[@lozanoroyce3985]

Hi Mr T- Nu, you do have something unique, i cannot remember, the last time, being so entertained, thank you,

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

That's a beautiful sentiment Lozano. I appreciate it!

[@jb7136]

Man, I really liked the lil aluminum foil tape puppet. I was seeing a "mummy" or a "ninja" character being created. You got me wanting to make something now. Just never thought it could be this easy. Got me some future projects planned when my life settles down a bit.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

THAT'S what I want to hear!!!! Yay! I stayed away from stop motion for a long time because the puppets were too complicated for me. Then one day I said... "Wait a second." Thanks for coming by!

[@chasonlapointe]

Get outta my head boy, I don't want you there... Great line!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

[@operaghost21]

Great vid, as I've come to expect. The stop motion video was utterly delightful. And I love that you share your wife's work, it's so sweet! Though I guess it helps that she's very talented as well. 😁

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Thank you! Doing the stop motion film was fun. It was interesting to just start animating around a loose concept and then let the story organically form around that. I many times do the same thing with sculpting and will do more tutorials based around this improvisational aspect of crafting. Thanks for your support. It means a lot to me!

[@Cerebrum123]

The Crafsman sent me, and I'm glad I listened. Some real quality work here.

Ah yes, the mellow song. I use a music service for some of my music (like this particular tune), I also have Carl Henry Brueggen who created several songs including the theme to the show. I'm working on a new tutorial now so finding the exact name of the song and where I got it is not possible at the moment.

Instead of them being so skinny can you add foil as like clothing to bulk them up wrap it with masking tape and paint the tape to look like clothes or would that make the “joints” harder to move? Thanks

Certain brands of Sports Tape work great over foam if you want to bulk out the figures. The Sports Tape adds a cloth texture which is very nice. Give that a try.
