Topic: Aliens: VideoLog 348-5

Now its my turn to show the world my first brickfilm experiences mini/cat .

I wanted to test layered video special effects (like in scenes with aliens attacks). Its my idea, not from any tutorial.
Im used a green clay on green paper background mini/mrgreen . Next Im pushed through the clay alien's mini jaws and alien's tail.
Next step was chroma-keying.

Effect of the alien's head and slime was created with the (uhh I dont know how its in english but maybe glass cigarette pipe(?))https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-uoWIcWvuQVE/UD0_Gpu6AUI/AAAAAAAAEB8/9rStVUAGhuc/s800/2552172799.jpg
and water, flour, and some of sugar. Glass pipe was in alien's head (clay) and with the syringe I poured this liquid into pipe and quickly photographed it.

I know i must practice with walking and animation in general. Then comes the turn of other animation skills.
