'Warrior Cats' Stop motion puppet
in Stop Motion
This stop motion puppet is based on the children's book series 'Warrior Cats'.
It has a fully removable head, limbs, tails and faceplates using magnet attachment points. The fore and back legs are attached onto the chemiwood ‘hip’ and ‘chest’ using a series of concentric brass tubes that allow fluid movement of the joints, which are made of copper at a scale of 2-3mm.
The spine and tail are made using annealed copper wire with metal beads that act as ‘bones’ and control the way the wire bends to make realistic shapes and movement. The whole armature was then covered with foam so the muscles and fat could be shaped, then covered in orange fur from neck to tail.
