How to make a StopMotion Puppet, Matilda's secrets

[@nobodysleftover]

I usually make stop motion puppets with wire and yarn and make the head with air dry clay , i'm Happy to see more spanish creators.

And how you make the hands? With silicone? Cause I dont have silicone, and I dont know any alternatives :(

[@FreakBobGayPants]

@@balazslennek a little late but you can try modelling clay! It’s hard to get the right texture, though eventually it works, it moves to I don’t think it dries

[@chloeaitken527]

@@balazslennek liquid latex is sold in lots of halloween shops! Layer it up and put talc on the outer layer so it doesn't stick once you're done. Its wonderful!

I would love to see more on pupet casting! Like silicones are good for puppets and stuff like that

I always wondered how they got the mouth and eyebrows so fine and how they moved the eyes. Fascinating. ❤️

[@josiahkey4929]

I can't wait till 3d printing can be even more precise. eventually all the things necessary to make something amazing such as this can be so much easier for someone who doesn't have the precision or knowledge to create masterpieces like you.

[@j.m.gulmire]

Easy is boring. Sculpting is an art

[@josiahkey4929]

@@j.m.gulmire my g. this was 3 fkn years ago. who does this. sculpting can be done digitally and with your hands. i do agree with ya tho.

This is great. I would love to learn how to do this.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't realise how much skill and design went into these puppets. Very impressive work.

I am starting a short film, and this helped me make my main puppet! Thanks!

[@ThoshanTheMusical]

Man I love how much attention to detail there is!

[@goose667]

The hair looks amazing! For my puppet I've been using brushed out yarn it poses but very messily

[@TheZahnputz]

pro tip: dont use the lego base plates for moldmaking. instead make 4 separate walls (with legos) that you connect with hot glue - way easieer to demold and many more advantages

[@zinadewoody1864]

ty so much for this video. I had no idea what kind of work was involved in producing these kinds of puppets, let alone create a video with them. It gives me a whole new appreciation for this true art form

[@animationfarm8258]

Stop motion animation is amazing, and you’re definitely leaving your mark with these pieces of art. Super entertaining great videos!

[@KozyKubz.]

Can you do a tutorial on how to do posable hair? Cause my puppets are bald and I dunno how to do hair for them.

[@edupuertasfruns]

It was kind a hard, time consuming as well. I will think about making a series about puppet making

[@KozyKubz.]

@@edupuertasfruns thank you I appreciate it!😀

Some ppl use human hair and comb silicone through it so it can be manipulated easily

I thought about using needles to direct the eyes from the pupil, but I wasn't sure if that would work or look good. But after seeing that done for this puppet, I feel more confident about that method 😅

You know, a stop motion puppet looks like fun to play with. Sure, it's not suited for the average child, but I'll get enjoyment out of it.

[@Rob_65]

I just found your channel through @retrotechjournal, a guy wort of some sponsoring 😉. I love how you share your work, giving insight on how the rigs and winders are made too. I've always wanted to do some stop motion animation myself and even have a camera with some special single shot and onion skin features but never got around to really use this since I had no idea how to move my puppets. Maybe starting of with some Lego minifigs is also not the best way to start and those plastic and wooden drawing models are not suitable for (smooth moving) stop motion at all. Your rigs and armatures look great, I should try making one of these myself so I started binge watching all your videos to get some ideas on how to convert my mechanical and machining skills into some kind of usable armature.

[@nicoleharris4192]

I'm working on the script on my own stop motion animation... My question is, how did you go about the costume? I need to figure out how to make Victorian style clothes, but I'm not coming with any ideas for how to make them.

[@edupuertasfruns]

wow, victorian style seems complicated. Watch Laika movies and behind the scenes to get ideas

[@paulshetler961]

"Box Trolls" has a behind the scenes documentary. They show how they made the dresses flow using a wire frame. good luck.

[@africanwilddog6685]

corpse bride was set in the Victorian era, maybe take inspiration or look up behind the scenes on that! also, im not a doll designer or anything (im learning to sew for fun), but i would try to simplify the clothing since it’s at such a small scale. dollightful has useful videos on how to make things so small!!

[@MrTerott]

Great vid. I have want to try to make same small stopmotion clip for many years.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Go for it, the hardest thing is to start

Awesome puppet! How did you make the replacement eyelids to stick to the eyeballs? I tried making my first puppet from wire before and replacement parts were just too difficult to do. I made a few sets of eyes from coins and magnets (XD) but they were too heavy...

[@edupuertasfruns]

The eyelids were made from jumping clay a light foamy plasticine. Then painted and we use bluetack to stick it in place. It is delicate but works fine

[@Laura-jj5rw]

@@edupuertasfruns Thanks a lot!

[@LarsLeonhard]

@@edupuertasfruns Ah cool. I thought they were magnetized!

[@Natalie404.]

Hi, thank you for putting this video up it's really helpful. I was wondering could you make a video. That maybe goes into more detail on how magnetic eyes are made? How they work and stay in place?

[@LarsLeonhard]

Some questions, but what an awesome video, thank you so much! My questions are: 1. What clay did you use for the head? Did it dry completely and become solid? 2. When you made the silicone form did you just create a big square of silicone around it and cut it with a knife into the clay? 3. What materials did you use for the eyes? 4. How did you create the interior eye holder that the eye moves around in? Thank you so much! Cheers Lars

[@edupuertasfruns]

Lots of qüestions. For the head I used Nsp medium from chavant. It is a sculpting plasticine. From this you make a silicone mould and then a poliurethane skull. The shape of the silicone mould is what a box you make dictates. Eyes are casted poliurethane machined round and the socket is like half a joint but made in acrilic

[@LarsLeonhard]

@@edupuertasfruns Thank you for your time

Matilda is so beautiful!! I dream of starting doing animation, and I want to crafr my firt puppet. Of course it would have to be a beginners version, so a puppet that will be less complex from Matilda's project. Do you have any recomendations where should I do my research?

[@edupuertasfruns]

hi Adriana, making puppets is a mixture of a lot of arts. I would search here in youtube for tutorials and then make a simple one. Test it and go from there. Next level would be to involve in a specific course to learn it somewhere that you can find teaching stopmotion

[@roosmattaar4667]

Hi Edu, great video, and beautifully crafted puppet! I'm a bit confused about the eye mechanism, perhaps it's hard to see on camera. I can't tell what's holding the white ring at the back of the eye in place, and what the bigger oval strip/string is doing and where it's hold in place. I can tell that the white ring is holding the eye in place and that the screw hitting the ring edges is stopping it from moving too far but can't tell what's holding the rings itself?

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hi Roos, what are you working on now? The eyes are hold between the hole in the face, shaped at eye shape and the acrílic in the back. It is like a ball and socket and the screw is just screwed to the face between eye and eye. Hope makes sense
