Clothing the main character

 

We had quite a few problems with the armiture for the main character. We had to make it three times due to lack of flexibility and uneven weight distribution. The first times his arms were far too long and he couldnt stand up. The second time he was too short and his legs, due to being very small, became very stiff and so we didnt have enough flexiblity in them, after failing twice at making the armiture, and already being behind schedule we started to panic and were worried we would need to make a new armiture from scratch or maybe even change the entire design of the character which would be wuite upsetting. So we took advice from Ben and started in a new armiture, actually Ben made the armiture for us, he made him a little taller and secured him together very well so that we could animate freely with him.
After the process of putting him together, I took him home and stared making his clothes. Although in the script it descirbes him having a clothes change, we deciede to stay to one outfit, this would make him seem more lazy. I decided to choose a stripeyfabric for his pyjamas becaus it matches the chair and curtain props in our animation. I think it helps the eye when having matching items in film, especially for kids.It almost gives him a personality or a theme rather.
