Today I attended a lecture by Daniel Greaves about his
Kickstarter raised short "Mr.Plastimime" a Plasticine animated film about a mime with the titular name. I found the full length partly edited film that was shown to us to be very enjoyable as well as the behind the scenes. But what really interested me the most was the figures for the film, especially watching them being made.
The made me think back to the figures that you'd see at anime conventions or my shelf.
Cause knowing they were working on a budget, they had to be able to create multiple replacements and additions to their Plasticine cast on the fly, plus while the quality of the workmanship is very good, I feel the exact quality isn't Nightmare before Christmas, or to put it frankly, they are quite crap.
Which made me wonder if I could perhaps create models of my own for my comic, because I would love more than anything to have this line of quality merchandise ready for people who enjoy my work to have, so this is a possibility might have to keep on, now that I've seen what is possible under a strict timeline and budget, thanks to Mr.Plastimime.
