Today's Webtip: Inner Workings

I never knew I wanted to know but now I do.

As much as I love a good stop motion animation, I have to admit, I've never really spent a lot of time thinking about how it's done. Yes, I have silently said to myself, "I wonder how they do that" but I was never actually motivated enough to let my curiosity lead me to search for the answer.

But after stumbling across a guide to building poseable skeletons for stop motion puppets, I sort of wish I had. The basic idea is pretty nifty, and could lend itself well to all sorty of other things. Like a tiny, fully poseable army of toy robots.

To do, or not to do. That is the question...

The easier way

A little more work

The "I got tools and know how to use them" method.
