This was my first semi-serious try at a short. It was shot on a 16mm Kodak Cine Special II camera in a basement in St. Peters Missouri. The skeleton was constructed from a lead and aluminum wire armature with brass tubing. His body was partially clay (the hands, feet, spine and neck) and the rest was hard Super Sculpey painted in acrylics.
The practical lights were done with tiny bulbs and a train transformer to vary and animate the brightness. The sparks were double exposed by lighting fireworks fuses and snapping off frames as they burned.
Scott Bakal who is a fine artist and (back then) played in a rock/metal band offered to do the music. Scott voiced the skeleton and Charlie Soldano engineered the different sounds to match the visuals.
Nicki Coyle from The Negative Space digitally copied over the original film negative for editing at www.thenegative.space
The remaster was finally edited in Davinci Resolve. The final credit titles are new, as well as several sound effects. The shot with the candle has never been seen before and was how I originally wanted the shot to look. It took a bit of editing to make that work.
Today, the puppet and castle remain intact, as well as Teddy in his cage. The floor of this set was used in my latest project as the foundation for the /Imagine series miniature studio home for Jen.

For the /IMAGINE series, Jen's studio home was one of the two major set pieces to be built. In this video, Marc takes you behind the scenes to see how it was set up for filming. Marc uses Ulanzi LED lights, as well as a fluorescent light to set the mood of the shot.

Here's an update on the progress being made for Jen's little home studio where she will make her stop motion projects. It's made from plywood, balsa, cedar shingles, wood glue and hot glue so far.

This is a short tour in VR 180 of Phil Tippett Studios. It was just one of their buildings, the other housed their animation stages and fabrication area. In here there were puppets and full sized costumes from MAD GOD, the Mandalorian, the Robocop, Star Wars and other major film projects.

Ceysor is a stop motion puppet that I had to construct for the Onyx Tower project by Matthew Rose. In this video you can see how he was designed in ZBrush and how he operates for animation.

Marc shows how he made a camera slider using a repurposed metal futon rail. This will be used to animate the camera in the upcoming Jen stop motion film series.

Just a short video update about Marc's goals and plans to use Jen (and AI) as a promoter and teacher of stop motion on the website. He also reveals the new voice actress he plans to use for Jen who is hilariously good!
Marc also talks about reaching 100 new members on the Discord, as well as how the stop motion Challenges are now set up with events and a new Announcements area.

Here is the full short film I've been working on for close to 10 years. From moving three times, getting married, having a son and losing my mom - it's been tough to finish. Thank you everyone who supported and encouraged me over the years. I hope I returned some inspiration and education on how traditional clay animated films are created. I may edit the film slightly different for release in film festivals.

According to William on a Facebook post, he wrote: "In 1986, we had just developed front light/back light tech. We had tried a bit on Twain but mostly we had gone front projection for the Twain project. The front light back light set ups usually meant a custom clear plexi table and backdrop with foreground lighting and silhouette (black outline) lighting with a manual toggle switch. So human error was always lurking in the background. The technique used the silhouette frame as a video cookie cutter matte to perfectly cutout the foreground object so it could be composited onto a master scene or combined to form a line of dancing raisins, etc. in video post production. Many times the video editors at the post production facilities had never heard of the technique before but all of them latched onto it once they grasped what we were trying to do.

I sculpt digitally in ZBrush, 3D print the sculptures on my custom printers, clean them up in clay, mold and cast them. You may have seen some of my sculpts at the Batman 66 Exhibit in Hollywood. As long as there is good reference material it can be materialized. If you need a sculpture, just contact me and let's see what we can do together. Contact me at the link above for quotes and ideas.
