Make a Monster - Plastic Bag Technology

shawn hagan

This tutorial is amazing. The concept was something  I'd never thought of.  I love the organic movement of the monsters in this tutorial, the weight of the "monsters" as they move is so visible. As someone with more than a passing interest in traditional animation, the possibility of creating real-life squash and stretch with real weight is something I'm very interested in. The textures achieved and the coloration is such an amazing effect. Once I knew that this was the technology used to produce the slime creature from Men in Black, I was sold. I'm thinking about building a Zerg Hive for a party next halloween, and I can only hope my friends will have patience to help me build it... and my land lord won't be too upset with the cleanup.

I'd like to see more of the finished product in action, for this and actually alot of the other fabrication videos.   I would be nice to see more of the puppeteering of the creatures and to see a sort of film test of the them.

Hi Adam, great suggestion. And we agree. The Bruce Fuller hag course will be showing the process all the way up to shooting a short with the hag. 

Also, Ted Haines and Bill Bryant going all the way to a film scene with their upcoming webcourses. Keep a look out!
