#misplaced 2018

Images of a deleted part from the original animatic of Misplaced. And that’s all the Misplaced posts for today, I promise, haha

Progress pictures of each of the puppets featured in my thesis film, “Misplaced.” The sock monster was the hardest to construct “orz

In an earlier version of my film’s conception, I was juggling ideas for Holly’s sidekick character. One was a doll that transformed into an androgynous bishoujo prince that had strong Utena vibes, another was a derpy dog (since dogs are a menace to socks everywhere). Ultimately (with the feedback I received from my classmates and teacher), I went with the Teddy Bear that transforms into a Grizzly Bear. In the beginning I thought that I would be creating my film in 2D animation, so when I had decided to do it in stop-motion, I had to draw new concepts with puppet construction in mind. Obviously, some minor changes would occur during the construction phase. The first set I had in mind was much more elaborate, but since you don’t see most of it within the film, not everything I had conceived ended up being constructed. The second set was made on the fly, since it’s literally a pile of junk (but I did end up putting together a background of junk on photoshop, not pictured here).
