The Armatures
The fabrication of those armatures takes several days, but these tolerate all the manipulations during shooting. The first one (the pilot) took me two months of research, and only a few days for the second one.
The aluminium armatures I used before this movie offered advantages (lightweight) and were easy to make but they turned out to be fragile and particularly difficult to repair.
Beside : Puppets for «Le souffleur de lumière». Material : aluminium thread, rawlplugs and Thermoplaste (malleable plastic).
The fabrication of a biped armature requires 10 of those pièces :
6 for the knees, the elbows, the shoulders.
2 for the spinal column.
2 for the hips.
Each piece is 16*6*2.5 mm, and hugs tightly 6 mm marbles. The tightening can be made with an Allen wrench through the coating. During the shooting, the animator can easily change the tightening.
The thorax, The pelvis
and the feet : Thoses parts required more attention: These are the most movable, but which support a huge weight.
steps of fabrication :
 |
For this work, we moved to JPL film, in Rennes (France),
a stop-motion studio in order to know how to make the heads:
Molds in silicone and heads in resin, the mouth is then sculptured with a Dremel. Fixations work with a magnet.
Result :
Lighting
Some lightings for «Sillages» Example of light installation : the cave by day.
In full daylight, dusk, night with campfire...
La Ménagerie (France) . 2012 .
Assistant decorator.
Working on the short stop-motion film « Lettres de Femmes »
by Augusto Zanovello.
Particularity: The background and the characters are made with paper and cardboard.
Internship at "la MCCC" . 2012 .
ARMATURES conception researches.
With help from the workshop foreman :
Familiarization with various metals for study and manufacturing of other mechanisms of armatures.
Using a strip :
Light articulation using a steel strip. This method is economic, easy to make, but the result is quite fragile and don’t present enough mobility. 
Using a tube :
A good mobility at 360°, but the vertical amplitude is small and heavy at the end.
Punch :
Fabrication of a punch in order to save time during the making of the armature pieces.
This type of articulation allows a good mobility of movement, but force the two parts to do an unwanted rotation.
