Looking for animation software. This is a free trial test of Dragonframe – hence the watermark. The free trial only allows 50 frames per clip… so I’ve looped it in order for it to last more than a blink of an eye because Vimeo is not happy with blinks of an eye as uploads.
This is a trial run for Cissie herself of course. How is she doing?
PS. I’m going with Dragonframe as my software.
The horse is coming along though not quite finished. The hooves are a problem – how to make them.
I have struggled between making a horse that is unbearably cute and one which looks like a zombie. The result is probably a cute zombie.
Cissie doesn’t seem to mind. She has fallen in love she tells me.
A Western gal needs a hoss.
It is taking ages. First there is the wire frame.
Next I build up the body shape with foam.
And smooth it over with wadding.
What kind of animal is emerging? There is much head clutching at this point. Do not take this as a masterclass in puppet building. It is more a desperate stab in the dark.
Boots – finally.
She seems happy with them.
Painted her face: eyes and very pale pink on mouth and I pencilled some eyebrows.
I tried other faces but this is the only one she is prepared to wear at the moment. She obviously likes to keep her cards close to her chest when it comes to facial expression.
