    I have been lucky enough to get a look at the whole series. I was asked to do a fact check. You are in for a real treat :) Daniel does an awesome job of making even the most complex notions simple.

    Wow that is so cool, I did an animation with puppet tool took me forever because to the tweaking involved

    the 3D head is the most amazing show us moooorrrrrreeee

  • xandercorp

    This looks promising, up till the point you said it’s not a step by step to show us how you did all that, in any case, I’ll take a look, it looks like you really out done yourself, either way. Thank you.

      Thanks for the interest in the videos!

      The reason they aren’t step by step is because a lot of the procedures are repetitive and unique to the individual puppet. The goal is to demonstrate how to achieve the affect so that you can experiment with your own puppets. I think if I made a step by step it would be a 10 hour video. It takes me about 5 days to draw, paint and rig one of these guys and each one requires a variation on the approach I outline in the videos.

      I am hoping that you will be shocked at how simple the concepts behind this are and will be able to easily appropriate for your own, all the while improving upon the basic techniques. In fact, I am certain that there are even easier ways to achieve these results and someone out there will have the answer.

      Again, thanks again for the support and interest!

    I’m very excited for this series! And I really like the month long approach, so we can dig deeper into concepts of design, not just follow along tutorials.
