I did a test with my new clay puppet sculpt that I was planning to use for the my weather video.... I tried to keep it simple and very clay looking.  this is my first time using Claytoon clay.  I am not sure if I like it so far.  Its seems very soft and I have to reshape and smooth after every move I made.  I was using some pins to keep his foot in place in the styrofoam,  I think that I will have to use something thicker for that as well.  I was also thinking about making his head bigger so that I can work out some eyes and expressions.  I started with a simple floral wire armature with the hips and shoulders fused with premo clay.  Im not sure If want to make the video with this guy!  I might make another version that is smaller and no armature.  any suggestions?

Finished! Making this was a lot of fun. The model fell over quite a few times though, so I'll be looking into using tie-downs in the future.

This pretty much describes my current situation! Small setbacks seem to eat up an inordinate amount of time...

here is what I am working on... what time does it need to be in by on wednesday?  I need to finish up some details then I can start shooting... I also need to decide if I am going to give him eyes or not!

here it is!!!
