EDIT: This project is finished in time for my graduate exhibition, I thought I'd share it with you all! You can still see all of my making process on Instagram and my blog

<p><a href="https://vimeo.com/168547235">Nausicaa Stop Motion Puppet Walk Cycle</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/rachelbrownpuppets">Rachel Brown</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

Hi everyone!

I'd like to share with you a project I'm working on for my third year of university. I'm making stop motion puppets of Nausicaa and Kai from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Puppet fabrication for stop motion in the industry is my ambition, so I plan to make these puppets from start to finish, armatures to costuming, props and lots of feathers!

I'm only in the early stages of the project at the moment, but I've started blogging about it here:

http://rayfriendsadventuresinminiature.blogspot.co.uk

And am always posting photos of my progress on Instagram:

https://instagram.com/rayfriendbrown/

I thought it would be cool to share this project with other people around the world who love Ghibli and Nausicaa as much as I do.

Would be great to hear your thoughts, be it here, on my blog or Instagram. I'm hoping to update the blog at least twice a week with my progress.

Here's a photo of some early armatures I made to give you an idea of what I'm up to!

Thanks Flare! I hope so too, my exhibition will be next summer, so I've got a while (but given the amount to do and my busy uni schedule, not long at all, haha)

The animation will be very short, just to show the capabilities of the puppets. It will 'capture a moment' rather than tell a story. I'm making them more from the perspective of showing my skills with puppet fabrication

If you can make two minutes, you can make two hours, right?

This is an amazing project! What a labor of love. And such beautiful craftsmanship. Kai looks awesome. So well done. I will follow your Instagram. I look forward to the short film one day.
