This is a short animation using one of our Heavy Artillery armatures. It was shot in an afternoon. It includes one special effect laser shot, otherwise it is a simple stop motion animation shot in "twos." Heavy Artillery armatures differ only slightly from our standard armatures, but come with battle armor and cast metal weapons. We added rubberized magnetic material to the feet and used a metal stage floor as described in our "Stop Motion How-To Guide" available with our basic animation kit.
This animation clip features our 6 inch figure with the 3 inch "child figure." For the purposes of showing the movements, the figures were not covered with material (except for a face made of clay for the child figure).
Here are some short videos that show the flexiblility and functionality of the 6 inch human figure.
Videos were made in less than 30 minutes each.
