Like myself the guys at Loyalkaspar wanted to dive into stop motion, and I had an idea for one of the sections that i thought could work well for them. Have a look at the boards:
Elliot and his team really took to the idea and brought a 'fruit & veg' approach to the animation. In essence they want elements and characters to be made out of natural materials to kind of bind in with the ecological drive of the film. The faces are being made out of different vegetables, the earth will be a melon and the ice cubes are being made out of....plastic cigarette pack wrappers! Now I know the latter isn't made of organic matter, but i reckon it's a stroke of genius to use said fag pack wrappers in the clip. After all, to give these most wretched objects a second life in a 'green' animation is rather poetic if you ask me. And, despite my initial reservations, when manipulated they do look just like ice cubes!
The Betterment Bureau team have been playing around with different veggies and effects that you get as they age. I've been quite taken aback by the energy they've thrown into the process. They're also put together a couple of camera tests showing how they might pull the tea towel together and how the characters might look against some backgrounds. It's all progressing brilliantly.
