Lizardo 4 is a stop-motion animation in progress created and directed by Sam Gainsborough. The Animation class, including myself, helped to make some of the background characters, designed particularly for scenes where there would be crowds, so there had to be a diverse group of people made.
First of all, we each made a sky to use as a backdrop for the outdoor scenes. The best and most suitable sky was chosen to be used for the production.
Then, we split ourselves into groups to take care of each of the different areas: constructing various-shaped armatures, molding the heads, hands and the feet, building the bodies, and making the clothes. For the heads, they had to be made in the style that Sam had designed for the main characters of the film. The bodies were made from polystyrene. For the clothes, they had to be tailored to specific proportions so they would fit each character's body structure comfortably. They had to be interesting yet typical to any ordinary group of people.
