Hi #IndieAnimationDay. I’m creating a stop motion short film titled For the Moment. If you like calming iyashikei anime with a bit of fantasy, feel free to follow the project. Below is a lighting test shot from an early version of the film. #stopmotion #shortfilm #supportindieanimation #indie_anime

All the wool arrived, so I can finally start the puppet fabrication process. I’ll record it for the YouTube channel if anyone is curious how needle felt puppets are made for short films. #stopmotion #animation #needlefelting

Cleaning and repairing armatures for the short film. These ball and socket armatures are for the main characters The Traveler and The Beast. I’ve been chipping away at their redesigns and hope to reveal them soon. #stopmotion #animation #indieanimation #art #shortfilm

A rough run and camera movement test with The Traveler puppet. This was the first test for the props as well.

The time consuming process of animating a blink in stop motion. In this old test of The Traveler, eyelids of different shapes were used in replacement animation to simulate a blink. #indieanimation #indie_anime #stopmotion #shortfilm

It’s #IndieAnimationDay. I’m solo developing a stop motion short film called For the Moment. This is a BTS shot for an old scene test. If you like iyashikei anime mixed with a bit of adventure, feel free to follow the film’s progress. #stopmotion #shortfilm #supportindieanimation #indie_anime

It’s Indie Animation Day. I’m working on a stop motion animation short film called For the Moment. It’s a slice of life adventure across floating islands in the sky. Here’s very early art compared to a test shot from the opening sequence. #indieanimationday #stopmotion #shortfilm

This is a very old run cycle test of The Beast. It was my first time animating a quadruped. The puppet had short legs at the time, which I lengthened later on. #stopmotion #animation #indieanimation
