‘Peel Great’, 2025
Synopsis:
A down on their luck Potato gets more than they bargained for when they go to a beauty salon.
Stopmotion/pixelation and live action
2 Second Teaser Potato Reveal
Making the outside garden set.
Making Characters
Initial test using a real chipped potato. However it was too moist and would get mouldy very quickly under the lights.
Two thin wires twisted and coated in a mixture of Copydex and acrylic. I had to make a lot of them because they were so thin and fragile.
Testing the hands and facial expressions on the baked Sculpey.
Video Timelapse of the process.
Using a single wire frame, wrapping in tin foil and covering with a thin layer of Sculpey.
Making the chip puppet bigger to allow more space for facial expressions.
Painting with a mixture of acrylic paints and using a toothbrush to create texture.
