Stop Motion Animation Short of a Kid Going into a Stinky Bathroom Stall to Read

In this project I chose to primarily focus on the fabrication and design of the set and the puppet, including the puppet’s relationship to its environment.
The puppet has a simple wire armature with tie downs in the feet. I used oven-baked clay for the head and medical tape and latex for all other parts of the puppet that show skin. The eyes and mouth were applied using vaseline. Her clothing is made out of vintage handkerchiefs. Her hair is made from grass for architectural models which I stiffened with latex and glue. The set is constructed from a painted foam core and the toilet is made of polymer clay. Details were added with acrylic paint.
