Once upon a time, a long time ago, I introduced you to Gunther, and told you about a stop-motion class group project called "Space Bar."
I never followed up because the semester ended and the project had to come to a halt before it was 100% completed. The sound and editing were never finished but I'd like to show you what we did manage to accomplish.
Welcome to the Space Bar, I hope you enjoy it!
In that earlier blog post, I mentioned that we built the set together, each made our own characters (mine is Gunther, the bartender), and had a great time shooting and editing. Our teacher, Juliette Marchand, was amazing, and it was a great pleasure working with my classmates, with especial thanks to Harold Brenkus, Anya Ewing (website), and Graham Wilson (website / blog). Thanks guys!

Puppets!
I've always been very interested in puppets, and have been set on making one for quite a while now. After a lot of research online, looking at various tips and tutorials, I finally got around to it.
His name is Tuck!
Tuck is actually my second attempt at puppet making. I had drawn up a ton of designs and bought new materials and was making excellent progress, but about 3/4 of the way through I got frustrated with the results I was getting, so I put the puppet on hold. I was trying too hard to achieve a certain look and shape, and just didn't know enough to get what I wanted. I took a break, used what I learned on the first attempt to start a new puppet (Tuck), and decided to come back to it later with fresh eyes. It isn't yet finished, but now that I have taken some time away from it, I have ideas for a new direction that I am pretty excited about.
Anyway, while working on that one, I took some pictures of my progress along the way:

Space Bar - Part One
Meet Gunther.
He hails from the planet Slugulon, and is the bartender and owner of a great little place in outer space, the SPACE BAR, an Intergalactic Liquid and Comestible Consumption Center of Sector 7Z-5, Orbiting the 3rd Moon of Zentrilox 4, the Rogue Planet.
It's a rough job but an interesting one. You never know who will walk in and what will happen in a bar in outer space.
As a group project for stop-motion, a couple of classmates and I worked to put together this fun little animation. We built the set together, each made our own characters (mine is Gunther, the bartender), and had a great time shooting and editing.
It was ridiculously fun to put this project together, from start to finish. Our teacher, Juliette Marchand, was amazing, and it was great working with my classmates, with especial thanks to Harold Brenkus, Anya Ewing, and Graham Wilson. Thanks guys!
Here are a couple of behind the scenes images:
^Anya, animating while Harold watches.
^Graham, waiting to animate.
The final project will be up soon!
