How do you make a coraline puppet?

Answer 1

Coraline is a stop-motion animated film. To create a stop motion puppet, you'll first need an armature. I use the Animation Supplies armature kits. They're a little pricey, but very much worth is (in my opinion).

Anyway, you'll need to draw a front view sketch of your character to scale so you can cut out the armature to the correct size.

After that, you can use clay to "flesh out" your character. The more professional route would be to make a mold of your character to flesh it out with a foam or silicone mix.

Stop-motion is a very time consuming process, but it's worth it if you're into making magic! Hope this helped.
