I had hoped to have a puppet with legs ready for this exercise (mermaid’s don’t exactly walk..) but the goblin puppet wasn’t quite ready to walk yet! So for the walk I used one of the Sticky-Bones puppets for the character of a not so loved King.
I really find animating with puppets oddly therapeutic- this may change as I work with more of my own puppets which will inevitably fall apart mid pose- but the process has been the most enjoyable and I think successful so far.
Over Easter I plan to look at After Effects tutorials to learn how to add in backgrounds and perhaps add in some 2D effects.
