STOP MOTION

Lilith: The Middle School Vampire

Lilith is a 12 year old vampire who is reluctantly starting her first year of middle school with BRACES. Can she fit in with the other humans even with a metal mouth full of fangs? 

​

For my Intro to Stop Motion class I fabricated this puppet, crafted the filming set up, and animated and composited a short animation! 

THE PROCESS

I started with preliminary exploratory character sketches. I then built the armature with wire, apoxy sculpt, KnS tubing, and polymer clay. 

​

The body is fabricated using foam and rubber latex.

​

The clothing is all hand sewn, and the shoes and head are painted clay. The hair is made from felt.

​

I took photos of Lilith's facial features individually, and then composited them on in post, using after effects. 

​

The floating is achieved using a hand built rig.
