Wobbly Tripod Ron Cole's blog where you can get updates on my current stop motion animation projects, see my portfolio and find where you can get a DVD copy of my film 'In the Fall of Gravity'.
'In the Fall of Gravity' is an 11 minute short which introduces some new techniques to the artistry of stop motion puppet making and has won several awards from independent film festivals and online competitions
There is an illustrated tutorial I created explaining the general techniques to create cable controlled stop motion puppets available. This cable control system will enable puppets to articulate speech and facial expressions.
There are links to the leading stop motion animation websites and blogs including; Stop Motion Works, Stop Motion Animation, Animate Clay, Stop Motion Magic, Dark Matters, Stop Motion Mission and many more.
The purpose of my blog and personal mission as an animator and puppet creator is to advance the art of stop motion animation by taking it in new directions it has never gone before.
One of the funniest new books for a long time.
The book is now being made into an animated feature film and features great music together with groundbreaking Flash based animation.
The web site is worth a visit as it has the animated music video, a cool strip club you can visit and wild music samples.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
Carolle-Shelley Abrams is from Manchester, United Kingdom. She came to
the USA after winning the Arts and Media Trust Award Scholarship which
enabled her to travel anywhere in the world
and pursue her art.
Carolle-Shelley shook up the art world with her visionary paintings and
drawings. Then she yawned, bored with the politics and pretense of the
scene, and embarked on a Zen-like quest for renewed artistic
fulfillment, which led her to animation. Her world was soon rocked by
a very specific animated vision.
She created a character known as Natalie – a chain-smoking French
coquette and self-proclaimed inspiration of all things beautiful and
elegant. Natalie became Carolle-Shelley’s star of four short movies,
and Carolle-Shelley became Natalie's famous French voice.
Paul Davids, President of Yellow Hat Productions, Inc., commis-sioned
Carolle-Shelley Abrams as director and book illustrator for Scarlett
May Blossom, and she will be continuing to turn her attention to the
scandalous exploits of Scarlett May Blossom for television and film.
Carolle-Shelley's short films include “OOLA OOP DINER,” “OOLA OOP L’EAU
DE OHH!” (Best Animated Short, Santa Barbara International Film
Festival) and “ALIEN DINNER THEATER” (winner of the EBE Award for Best
Animated Short from the International UFO Congress). All three films
are available on iTunes. She also produced a Natalie short called “THE
ESCAPE ARTIST” and is director and animator of the first “SCARLETT MAY
BLOSSOM” animated music video.
