Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been busy finishing up a sequence. Lots of work!
In a couple of weeks time I should be getting a quadrupedal stop-mo armature much like the ones used for everyone's favourite Oscar-winning pooch. It is being built at the moment, so I am going to have to try to stop hyperventilating or the time will pass in a world of light-headed fluffiness.
It will be interesting to play about with some stop-motion animation to see if it really is as hard as it looks. (I'm thinking it will be). Obviously when it kicks my arse I shall recount the whole experience to you all, dear readers....
Incidentally, why are you reading? Have you got nothing better to do?
No? Wow! Thanks for stopping by. It is much appreciated! This blog helps my organise my brain on animation-related stuff, but I hope other people find it at least a teensy bit useful as well.
I will post some rig pics when I have them.

sweet!
would like to see the rig and your animations!
stop motion's fun......but pretty tricky!
I have huge respect for the Aardman animators!

Cool.
I'd been thinking of getting an armature too.
Can you let us know where you got it made?

Good luck with that Kevan!
I was talking to an ex-stop mo guy the other day who now does CG animation and he was saying that stop-mo animators are a different animal altogether. Before they start the shot they had to be totally zoned in on what they needed to do and he said some even had their own shorthand notes (which only they could understand) that would help them while animating.
One thing's for sure, I find Cg hard enough so I'd be a absolute crap at that.
Great Blog by the way.

Especially the veil on the bride!
