Today we started work on our new animated film, The Smile, which is going to be disturbingly funny!
What you see here, is a digital sculpture of a mouth-pose of a character called Heather Gogether. However, The Smile is not going to be a digital movie, it’s a traditional stop-motion puppet movie. With the help of 3D colour printers, we will be able to send our digital characters into the real world. I will show you how that is done soon.
We did not invent this technique, I believe it is the fantastic Laika studio’s that came up with 3D printed face-replacement. I am working hard to develop a great looking, low budget version of this technique.
