My Role: Director/Puppet Maker/Animator

​

These funky characters wrapped in thread are my graduation side-project that I decided to make in order to practice a more cartoon and exaggerated animation style. I have brought elements of 2D animation into their design; they have replacement body pieces so that they are capable of squash and stretch, and I have made additional limbs that are attached via pins for smear frames. The intention is to create short pre-school episodes with them that I can post to social media. Follow my Instagram @nevmac_ to see more behind the scenes of this project!
