The garage door has been open with Shel covered in Blue foam....a kiss and Hug and I'm blue foamed and in heaven looking at these bueaty's shes creating.

Congrats!!
Love these posts, each photo gets me more and more motivated.
Cool Beanies as usual. It's wonderful to watch your continued growth, and congrats on the recent awards.
Man, those ships are looking incredible!!! And they're HUGE!!!
If it's not an insider secret, could you mention how you're shaping the foam (what kind of tools) and what kind of glue you're using?
hi guys!!
thanks RICH and JOHN.
us too TONYCHAUZER! and by stopping by and commenting you're just fueling the movitation fire!
DARKSTRIDER....i'll try to do a post on that soon -- justin's working on something very cool this weekend that he's going to want to post on next! thanks for the idea.....jeff has taught me so much, i'm thrilled to share it.
wait wait wait...you were in the same category up against the big boys of CG and schooled them? Awesome! I better start building my stopmo skills so I'll be ready when you open your Feature film studio and need grunts :)
The ships look so great in shape and style ! All from one world, all fitting so very well together... Congratulations !
Man! That raw foam and wood is so cool to see. Great to see this taking shape.
Looks like somebody's playing with Van Aken! You gotta get your hands on some of the aged Avalon clay, man. That stuff is like the FINE WINE of Claymation clay. Smooth consistency, takes easy tooling, and it's a bit firmer than Van Aken. I believe Bruce Bickford has a ton of it, he was animating clay long before Van Aken was around.
As far as the bit about doing the right thing and the doors flying open- I second that. These past few months have been beyond amazing. It seems that the more I hang around Portland and go to events, the more animators I meet. It's a crazy fun journey I don't ever want to end.
The ship is just looking soooo amazing. And it is very big. How big is your set going to be for this film? I would love to see your post about shaping the foam for the ship.
By the way, conrats for the 2 more wins of GLD!!!
