Stop Motion Costing Limitations
When choosing stop motion, I knew the risks in term of costing. It is a very expensive industry that can lead to hundreds and thousands of pounds for each movie just on armatures and characters. This is before equipment, materials, sets, animators, voice actors, etc. Reading up on the industry and what different studios are doing has really helped me with doing this project, but it has really opened my eyes into the sheer astonishing prices of stop motion characters. I've been reading this book bellow that shows just how the figures in Corpse bride were made. These were cutting edge, using rigging within the face that they could move with keys to mimic facial movements and expressions could be achieved without swapping off the heads every minute. This therefore meant costs went up to crazy prices.
Although I have found the Ray Harryhausen's book to be very useful as it shows what his early models looked like, this helps as they were very basic fabric and wire armatures. I will be doing more of this for this in particular project but this really shows how much costing can effect the overall finished piece.
