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.
