So, what about making the eyes move, and different facial expressions? Do ya need multiple heads? If so, how do you make the doll so her head can pop off and on?
You necessarily need more than one head but need a way to change the facial expression. For less detailed and more cartoony heads, can be done with stickers or small bits of (non-dry) clay to add onto a blank head. But if your head is more detailed then you may need more heads.
I'm currently in the process of making a music video, and this tutorial was so helpful. it's exactly what I was looking for! your puppet looks incredible. thank you holly :-)
Its been a year please dont give up on your video! Its never too late to come back and finish or restart it! As long as you enjoy doing it you should do it!
This tutorial is amazing! 🧡The big plus would be a tutorial similar to this one where you create a head that you can animate, since this one is fixed, so you can't animate it in stop motion videos.
This is really awesome. I Been doing stop motion for a while but mainly only using plastic toys that were already built or small bits of clay and wanted to build a more permanent character, who wouldn't just fall down every time i position it! This was a great lesson! Thankyou, i am really inspired. Love his little overalls n-n
You can also add some key holes on the back and front so you can use a rig to hold your character in place while animating. Just add them into your milliput, I use two different size brass rods so the can slot into each other 😊
That is such an amazing in depth tutorial! I want to improve my puppet at some point and this video helped me so much! Exactly what I needed. Your puppet also looks amazing
Wow. This seems like a very effective way. I usually just use non hardening clay for my animation puppets. However the clay starts to get pushed in and by the end of the animation, the character looks completely messed up. Mine also don’t stand on their own. So I’m going to use this video to make some cute ones. Thank you for the tutorial!
I’m using this video for an armature stop motion assignment for a college class im taking currently, its very helpful and the puppet looks great! Thanks for the informative vid!
I absolutely love this video! You've definitely given me amazing tips and inspiration! Tonight, I'm going to start brainstorming and sketching out the character I want to make. Thank you!
I'm new to this as well. Ive been able to slowly buy everything I need at Walmart and Amazon. U can also use things around the house as well. Good luck!
It turned out very beautiful! I was looking for how to make a puppet for StopMotion, as I started making my StopMotion shorts with plastic soldiers and I came across this wonderful video, thank you for sharing your talent, success always.
Great work! Question: do you ever have an issue of the fingers snapping off when you're moving them around? That just happened to me while using 1mm wire. Wondering if you have a trick of how to avoid it.
really helpful video thanks Holly. There is a cheap alternative to the metal epoxy that you are using that usually comes in small tubes. BigBoy metal filler is around £6 for 250gms. Would that do the trick do you think? Seems to be similar stuff?
honesttly best tutorial ever !! i’m following it but i just get stuck on wiring the head, is it supposed to be perfectly replicating the drawn head or can it be smaller / less round? wouldn’t it affect the end project ?
Do you have a suggestion for Epoxy putty alternatives? I am doing this with 5th graders and I need something less caustic and cheaper. Great video, Thank You
This is really cool. But I have one question. Is their alternative way to make the bones instead epoxy putty. Because I didn't want to handle anything toxic.
Comece com bonecos simples! Eu mesmo comecei com soldados de plásticos, e procurei um video tutorial de como fazer um boneco para animação em StopMotion, vi o video dela fazendo o boneco que ficou muito bonito.
I wanted to ask a quick question; what would you recommend doing if you want to be able to change the outfit of your puppet? Would it be best to just make multiple puppets with each outfit or is there a way you would recommend to be able to change outfits on the same model?
I would make outfits that are easy to remove from the puppet with attachments such as Velcro/snap buttons/magnetic strips . Less work and material required for this method:)
@HollyLam I have one last question; how would you recommend making or changing the doll if your trying to make a doll that for example has thicker arms, legs, hips, or chest? Would you keep the base the same or edit it?
I don’t know if you still are responding but I have a question: what about when you want the character’s facial expressions to change a lot? Do you just make a bunch of different heads for each expression? I don’t know, I’d really like to know!
Hello, there are various techniques for making puppets with facial expressions, swappable face plates/ magnetic parts/ silicone casted puppets with armature wire for moveable mouth. I have made these types of puppets before in my film, Murph. You can also find plenty of information on the process of creating moveable facial parts online:)
3 years later, you’re still helping beginner stop motion animators! Thank you!
Oh my gosh, this is amazing. We watched this in my comic art and animation class and this had given me so many great ideas!
That's wonderful to hear!
The fact that animation classes are showing RUclips videos in class just solidifies my theory that I can learn everything I need to online...😅
Where is this class offered?
I keep coming back to this one.

Wonderful puppet! 😍 Thank you for sharing this process!🙏🙏🙏
I don’t think I have any of the stuff I need.
Then buy
Grab random junk and see what you can make.
I'm new to this as well. Ive been able to slowly buy everything I need at Walmart and Amazon. U can also use things around the house as well. Good luck!
Dude i wrote this when i was 10.
Im not really into stop motion anymore
@@thelightningcactus7127you’re literally 12 get off youtube 🙏😭 (joke)
It turned out very beautiful! I was looking for how to make a puppet for StopMotion, as I started making my StopMotion shorts with plastic soldiers and I came across this wonderful video, thank you for sharing your talent, success always.
This is fantastic, thank you for giving me a heading on how to create my own puppets!
Truly astonishing! The Curanium gang approves of this masterpiece!
Thank you for creating a character that is not a battle fighter of sorts. It's good to see.
That is an amazing puppet😊
thank you so much for this tutorial, i’ve been looking for the perfect one and this is the one! i cant wait to make my little puppet :)
I'm planning on doing a little nightmares 2 stop motion series so this was very helpful.
How exciting! I love little nightmares! 😁 glad this helps !
Cool, i love litlle nightmares
Love your art and dedication ❣️. Watch your work, feels great.
I just found your channel and I'm brand new to all of this. You're awesome! This is a huge help. Thank you for making these videos.
I love this tutorial because it's so easy to understand, thanks Holly :D
Thank you, it's so encouraging to hear you enjoyed it and found it easy to follow! :)
Gracias por tu tutorial , es el mejor que he visto. Ahora si podré hacer mi puppet ☺️
Going to art school next year and taking a class in stop motion!! I wanted to have a little practice before hand and this is incredibly helpful
God! love the texture and all the detail!
Can we all agree that stop motion looks best with mild horror like Coraline. Btw, loved the video! Can't wait to start up my new channel!
I become obsessed with stop motion cause art doesn’t suit me any more so I become interested in this “Stop-motion” thing
He's so cute! I've been looking for a vid like this for ages!!
Great job !! Serious
This is just what I needed! Very detailed and informative👍
Thank you very much! Glad you found it helpful! :)
I love puppets and stop motion
I really enjoyed this. I learned a couple tricks to put in my back pocket as well. Thank you for the video and great looking puppet!
Thanks for watching! That's great to hear !
This will be very helpful for my show I’m making!
What would you do if your character didn’t have clothes? How would you hide the bendable parts while still letting it be semi bendable?
Wow this is amazing!!
Ah! This is perfect for what I want to do! Thank you!!!!!
most helpful video
You are literally saving my butt right now 🙏🏽
Awesome!!
He is so cute!!!
That was fucking amazing!!! Amazing technique of clothing..Much love for all stop-motion enthusiasts like you (Im also one of them 🙄).
Thanks this was helpful!
Wow, that's really impressive!
Wow so nice you made a aluminum wire into puppet so nice and I really like the background music
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
😀
Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this
¡I LOVE YOUR FIGURE! 🤩🤩🤩
first off, holy shit this is helpful, and second the music in the background is giving inside out
Brilliant 🎃
Great great 👌👌👌
Fun stuff
This is great very helpful to thanks
Astonishing! I make pupets too but I am too😜 lazy to make stop motion
Amazing!! Congratulations!

Thank you very much for this good tutorial :)
VERYYY very cool
You do great ,good luck
Love the pumpkin head !

This tutorial is amazing!!!
very helpful!
Thank you! I am starting claymation soon!!!! Also im gonna try and get a 3d printer
Thanks so much for this! :)
it's amazing ! so much great advices, but i have a question. How do you set it in motion when you start filming if you cook it beforehand? Thank you
Great Tutorial and nice Stop Motion Puppet!!

That's really great!
Super helpful video!
great video ! but I don't suggest you to twist the wire for the armature because it will weaken the wire and so it would break easier
Thank you! Oh I see, thanks for letting me know! :)
you're welcome
Love it!!! Sooo good 👍
Keep up the great work
honesttly best tutorial ever !! i’m following it but i just get stuck on wiring the head, is it supposed to be perfectly replicating the drawn head or can it be smaller / less round? wouldn’t it affect the end project ?
This is so cool. I'm guessing the wire will eventually snap if bent a lot. What can be used to make lasting joints?
Do you have a suggestion for Epoxy putty alternatives? I am doing this with 5th graders and I need something less caustic and cheaper. Great video, Thank You
This looks gorgeous, but do you think i could use polymer clay instead of milliput?
Wow thank you, I can't wait to make my own puppet!
You’re welcome! 🥰 I’m glad this helps!
Hope you have fun making your own puppet!
@@HollyLam thank you, it helped a lot! Thank you sm you just made my day.
That looks really good! Keep it up
Thank you!!
But how can I make a puppet without clothes? And how can I make octopus arms?
Anibild makes a very cheap kit that allows for replaceable limbs, as they're prone to breaking when animating.
hello !! fantastic video, has helped me a lot…what’s that foam called? I can’t find it in any of the shops near me. thank you!!
btw I love your little guy!
How would you do the head so you can replace the lower jaw for lipsyncing purposes?
This is really cool. But I have one question. Is their alternative way to make the bones instead epoxy putty. Because I didn't want to handle anything toxic.
I always wanted to make stop motion animation.
