Here is a picture of the plane I have
been recently working on for Busters
flight of fancy, or should I say, fancy for
flight? It is a converted and repainted
toy from the Avatar animated series. I
added the prop and prop crank shaft,
removed the missile firing platform from
the back and repainted the whole thing.
It is more of an ultra lite then a plane but
it serves his purpose for wanting to fly.
This is also the most recent Buster
model to be completed.

Stopmotionanimation.com forums is a great resource!
This week alot of folks were working on walking their
puppets. I took a stab at it tonight and realized just how
much more work i need to do on mine to get it smooth and
flowing the way I want it to for the film short. I shot it in 1's
then went into the editor on stopmotion pro 5 and added
some frames to help the flow a little. I realize also my
moves were WAY to big. Need to work on making them
more subtle in order to get the walk to look more fluid. I
also realized that even though I did have most of the items
on the set either glued down or held in place with
clay..there were way to many items loose and those moved
when I was drilling the holes for the tie downs.
More work on this coming soon..I want to begin filming the
actual short soon and with movements like that it'll take
alot more work to get the animation to a better standard.
