STOPM O T I O N TUTORIAL s
Resin armatures (using silicone moulds)
For the basics, or the intermediates, or the impossibly challenging, everything you need to know is here: http://www.stopmotionanimation.com/handbook/ or at the stopmotionanimation.com forum just go for an advanced search. I want to thank Anthony Scott (creator) and all the amazing animators who contribute to sma.com for their guidance. You just won't find this thinktank of generous, rapidly responding and generally beautiful people at any artschool.
