The sunflower - Needlefelted stop motion puppet
This sunflower man is based off of a dream I had and I wanted to capture the liminality and surrealism of it in this animation.
The set is an MDF base with chicken wire to build up the hill. It was then covered with a needlefelted backdrop which was also wet felted to create a textured effect.
The figure has an internal wire armature which is covered in felt, and has been trimmed and had detailing added.
