About the video: Armature and Rigging Point 3
Overview
“As I wait for the glue to dry, I will mix the milliput to create the ‘bones’ of the body. I will start with the hands, the trickiest part, and then I'll work on the legs and the feet. Leaving that to set, I will focus on the head and add ears, eyes, and nose.”

Discover the charming world of stop-motion puppet design and learn to build your own characters, from the initial design to the finished figurine.
