STOP-MOTION SETS

PUPPETS/COSTUMES

Stop-Motion Sets

1:12 Scale stop-motion puppet of a distressed man with mechanical alterations and torn and dirty clothes stands at the edge of post-apocalyptic city, strewn with rubble, metal debris, dirt and moss. He sheds the mossy cape that was hiding his features, and reveals the mangled gear and wire mutations on his head, chest and back, and his metal eye, in shame. — Still from Saturation, 2021. Natural moss and lichen cape.

Wide shot of 1:12 scale stop-motion puppet of woman with over-altered and distorted facial features, red glass eye and torn and dirty gauzed wrapped dress kneels within the ruins of an abandoned lathe and plaster room with cracked and dusty walls, concrete lower wall, old painted wood floor, oxidized wall fan, broken six-pane window and dark hallway behind. White plaster versions of her face alterations hang from the ceiling, and she holds one in her hand, tenderly inspecting it with regret and shame. — Still from Saturation, 2021.

1:12 Scale stop-motion puppet of man with bright white hair and tiny beard wisps, dark brown skin covered with tattoos, one human eye, one metal eye, and metal in his cheek. Wearing dirty gauze wrapping on his arms, and a frayed burlap covering wrapped with twine, he stands at the edge of the entrance to a wilderness, surrounded by trees, dirt and moss. He is bathed in a warm yellow light, staring up at the trees in wonder. — Still from Saturation, 2021. Stop-motion animation.

Medium close up of 1:12 scale stop-motion puppet of robotic humanoid with extreme mechanical alterations of entire body, no skin, and a latex humanoid looking mask with only eye holes and circuitry behind them, body wrapped in dirty and disheveled strips of white plastic wrap. Surrounded by red-hued post-apocalyptic busted ruins of an abandoned building, it maintains a squatting position, as it closely inspects bizarre metallic detritus with curiosity. — Still from Saturation, 2021. Electronic mutations. Cast and latex-dipped face mask.
