ARMATURE

PRO STOP MOTION ARMATURE

Fully machined puppet armature made in aluminum 2024

Ancla 1

Character design

An alien named Alan, who's mission is to erase boredom from earth through silliness.

The puppet below was made in 2023, it has a wire armature, and it was the inspiration to venture to make a pro armature.

Armature design

Based on the book "Stop-motion armature machining" I choose the joints needed to achieve the needed movements.

Machining preparation

One would think that it's a matter of getting the materials and get going, but we discovered that many other things are needed before we start machining the final pieces. Below are most of the gigs, tools and accessories needed to complete this project.

Machining pieces

With the needed accessories ready it was time to get going with the machining of all the parts needed.

Final prototype

This is a the result of 150+ hours of work. Special thanks to my teacher Raúl who's support and knowledge was unevaluable for me, and to my classmates Kevin, Emmanuel & Armando who helped me in the process and also made some of the parts.
