Working with Leon Cauchois (BA Graduate) with animating with wet clay - taking scenes from my storyboard and experimenting with techniques, using the possibilities of the how to do and outcome of the visual look.
We began with taking Sequence 06 Scene 02, male hand forms and extends towards the Goddess. We managed to create a dark atmosphere around the hand and focusing the lighting (Dado 1.50 pack) only on the clay covered hand. Applying the Clay was successful though fiddly, the heat from the body did increase the drying process and I had to keep the hand moist with water quite frequently.
Animating the hand was difficult without istopmotion - it was completely captured on the D90 - the hand in mid-air without support made it raise and sink out of frame - so it was decided to find some means of rigging, to discreetly support any body parts in need of the extra labour support when it came to filming.
Problems encountered were mainly the issue's without rigging and istopmotion. Apart from those few things, it was a successful test in animating, and it help us gain extra perspective on how animating the wet clay could go about, pacing, outlook etc
