Here is a short cut from where I tried transforming the kozmonavt from "liquid" back into character. The sound is obviously not there yet, but enough to give you the vibe.

Building smaller sets to fit in the bigger ones, because otherwise there is no room left in the apartment. This is for the upcoming movie Kozmonavt.

Working a lot on new characters and scenes for the Kozmonavt movie. Here is a sneak peak of the freshly made heads and in the back you can get a glimpse of an unfinished set.

Boban is waking up! 🎥

A guy in his early 30s tunes his internal radio to higher frequencys. The moment he decides to transform his life - nature hears him and invites him in her embrace.

Short test animation of the first "usable" character. It's also the first one to have movable eyes. 👀

​

For this one I didn't build any sets, I just used random stuff put together and try to get some different angles.

A preview of the upcoming short Kozmonavt.

​

Here I made the first wire armature that held together through the main process of filming. I also designed a special mount for easy mouth replacement. The mouths are made of shaped tin foil, covered in paper-mashe. Thr mounts are made out of buttons (the ones that click together). Same for eyebrows.

Sneak peak of set details from the short titled Kozmonavt.

"A story about innocent love spiraling into a series of misfortunate events."

​

It's here! The first short I ever made!

​

The journey was interesting and gave me a lot of lessons on camera work, setting scenes, lighting, music production and effects, set building, ... I could go on and on.

​

As I said, this was my first project ever. At first I wanted it to be with puppets, but then I realised that that's not gonna be easy. So improvised with sillhouettes and put a lot more focus to the lighting and sound design. It's amazing how much good/fitting sounds and some sweet shadows add.

​

Here is the reversed progress of my puppet making. The first picture being the latest puppet.

​

Bellow you can read all about what upgrades etc. each character has.

​

▪️The 1st character is the latest one I made. Its real face is hidden behind a mask. Because the story is still developing I wont reveal it just yet.

​

✅ Steel ball & socket armature

​

✅ Wire palms and fingers

_______________________________________________________

​

▪️The 2nd character is from the upcoming short Kozmonavt. It was the first character that had upgrades like:

​

✅Movable eye-brows

​

✅Replacement mechanism for the mouths (lip sync)

​

✅ Stronger DIY wire armature

_______________________________________________________

​

▪️The 3rd character sadly lost its DIY wire body during filming (because it was weak).

​

✅ Movable beard and replacement mechanism

​

✅ First paper-mash head, that is more durable the previous versions.

_______________________________________________________

​

▪️The 4th character was made out of play-dough and covered in hair spray. The head was still soft, but better then the previous version.

​

✅ First pair of movable eyes

_______________________________________________________

​

▪️The 5th character was made all out of clay. Because I wanted it to look more human and have the extra options of sculpting. My animating chaos didnt approve of the material as you can see.

​

✅ Flexible/movable limbs

_______________________________________________________

▪️The 6th character was the first armature that was upgraded from the basic champagne wire cage. It was stiff and kinda not usable.

​

✅ Looked a bit more alive than just the wire skeletons I did before.
