Topic: Hey My Favorite People! (Hey-Oh, I say Hey-Oh!)
Sorry, had to get that out of my system.
I'm working on a pretty decent animation project, its a pitch for a small series (but by small I mean not lacking in kick-ass) but I'm hitting dead-ends with terminology and whatnot... Seriously, there's too much slang in animation, and far too much custom-made stuff that I need to buy!
Basically, I'm going to be working with 1/6 scale figures. I'm going to be shooting with an SLR, and it's going to be absolutely tight (Patrick Boivin style for the high-action sequences).
But I have no idea where to get a few things, and I know there are some killer brains sitting around here that I can get some advice from
I need support rigs. Adaptable and modular, and I need at least two of them. Does anyone know much about them? People are telling me they're custom made, but there must be somewhere I can grab the pieces in a box for a bumped up price? I love the look of the Climpex stuff (http://www.climpex.co.uk/climpexhome2.htm) but I can't just order it immediately. I've got some test figures on the way, and I'm working on an excellent dolly rig made from RC train tracks and ply wood, that will give my camera a perfectly smooth and gentle ride.
I love you guys, I'm really hoping someone here might be able to give me a lead on this I promise I'll hang out more, I'll make cookies, and I'll give you peeks into what I'm rocking
Cheers,
Brendan
(PS, I'm sorry about the Western project, but this is the next evolutionary step of it. Just like Jay wants to do his pirate film with bigger puppets )
