This Stop Motion puppet is still a WIP (and will maybe remain forever WIP), but decided to take it for a one hour and a half ride. No direct ref, and clearly no arcs tracked 🥲. Armature parts and head sculpt from

Me, without my computer for a few days: I guess it's time to rest and not animate for a bit!
Also me: I should try stop motion.

I'm really stoked about the new Ultraman movie from Netflix! I did this personal anim test, inspired by Ultraman, while working on King of the Monsters back in 2019 (because apparently a full time job animating kaijus was not enough)

Thank you for all the love this shot is getting in the past 3 yrs! If anyone is curious, my first inspiration were my two cats. The idea was to make a simple sleepy roll. I searched for more reference and when I found this video I couldn't resist adding the down the slope roll.
So I have decided to animate two kittens.

I actually animated that thinking about the next Jurassic World installment, after watching Battle at Big Rock. Nope, I'm not involved in the movie (I wish), but it was a fun "what if" animation exercise : ).

When I saw Godzilla 2014, back then I was just one year into my career as an Animator. I bought this 2014 NECA Godzilla to place on my desk to remind me the distant goal (I was in Brazil) to work on a Godzilla movie someday. Today I saw the second one I've worked on. ♥️

Happy one year, Andor! To celebrate, here's my Animation Reel from my short (and amazing) time on the show. A big thank you to all involved. It was my first show at ILM, and I couldn't have asked for a better crew to work with.

Hopefully this is not a spoiler anymore. I got to animate the second shot in this video and big chunk of the KX shots in this sequence: from the KX walking and a person being thrown away in the foreground up till the hand shot when KX pins Andor to the wall. All keyframe 🤖

The armature parts and the head sculpt were from a stop motion shop. The rest is pretty much a bunch of different foams plus some liquid latex on top of it on hands and bottom legs

When I was given this sequence to animate, at first I had to figure it out how Godzilla would eat Ghidora's head. I remember I had too much fun: Godzilla's mouth full open and we were seeing only Ghidorah's muzzle down his throat 😄 (the spikes were a nightmare to fit in though)
I wanted Godzilla to devour Ghidorah as the ultimate defeat and punishment for his rival, but it was Toho's idea to have him "barbecue" the final head.

This one I got from here years ago, but I think they are not taking orders anymore.
Look for "stop motion winder rig"! Unfortunately they are not super easy to find, usually I see a lot of "out of stock"

One thing to keep in in mind is that, in production, animators don't get to decide how fast those creatures move. This is the sort of direction that comes from the very top

Even if somehow the VFX vendor used the same models and rigs from a previous movie, you still have to go through post-production process for each shot: Layout, Animation, CFX, FX (destruction FX costs lost of money), Light and Comp. Multiply that for a whole movie and 💸💸💸💸

From the documentary Dinosaur!, hosted by Christopher Reeve. It haunted my dreams as a kid, but I could never stop watching. The way they kinda start resting their heads at the end. They feel like real animals, not cliche dinosaur monsters. ♥️

We shot references ourselves for almost all the shots. With it you can get a lot of the intention, acting and general body mechanics. For let's say a bite I would watch videos of Komodo dragons, bears, anything that could help : )
