wolf & sheep: stop frame stop

Ah! It's so rewarding to see this world we've made come to life. Animator Andy Biddle has joined us and he has nimble fingers and magical skills. Watching him animate puts smiles on our faces and I often find myself gawping in disbelief. He is working at an amazing rate of 12 seconds (average) per day, that being more or less 300 frames.
The photos below are a look at the set up before the scene is animated. The model is screwed in to the floor through her feet and socks and shoes. Most of the scenery is also attached to the floor as it would be disastrous for it to shift during the shoot. The house lights are on in these pictures, whereas during filming the main light source comes from the wall lamps in the set. Occasionally another light is used against a mirror or white sheet to highlight important features in the composition.

Trick wallpaper used for the reflection in the mirror on set. Meanwhile, the entire wall is removed so that the camera can be positioned for shooting.
