After finishing the Eurydice character design the work on my film project has been dragging the last days... But since I'm a person who barely sits still and loves to work, I'd like to share some pictures from my school workshops with you.

The kids are about 16 years old and we have about 2 hours per week together. They're quite ambitious and like to tell some kind of romantic and scary comedy story... I didn't post much about them since they has prepared puppets and props for months now.

But yesterday we put some of the things together and took some pictures to see how it may work. And heck: it works great! In the picture above you see Igor, the main character sitting on a desk and waiting for his first assignment.

The five of them do a terrific job and they collaborate impressively... They spend so much time and energy to create this lovely things and puppets, and they try to do it as professional as poosible...They love to play, too, and every week we have a great deal of laughter. If the animation is going to be as great as their models are, this would becoming a very nice film... But see for yourself:

The kids care a lot about details and try to give it a professional touch. They put so much effort in creating every single piece. It's simply nice to watch.

These are all the finished puppets up to now placed in one of the settings. It's quite stunning how all the single pieces fit together... (Oh, and sorry for the blurred pictures!)

It's amazing to see what's possible in a such a little while. I'm already so proud of them. We still have some months left and I guess we're going to start animating in two to three weeks... To see how everything comes together in the end is very encouraging for me and my own project as well...
