When we were making our Models in the 3D workshop induction, we were told to look at other models that exist, perhaps to compare, but also to just investigate for ourselves. The one that I thought of immediately was 'Coraline', as the armatures we saw in class, were of extreme similarity. However I wanted to see what other films used them and to what extreme.
'Frankenweenie' and 'Chicken Run' were two of many that stood out to me. Probably because I made a model that was a human and these are animal characters. It was fascinating to see the detail into every place in the body that gives them the character that everyone loves. Just by looking at them you can tell that they have personality. I also was overwhelmed by the complications of them. From the joints to the fingers, every part of the armature moves... an amazing result, but perhaps requires a lot of mathematics and consideration.
It was also interesting to see some DIY armatures and models, which were far better than the one I made. This one I found reminds me of Audrey Hepburn from the film 'Funny Face', as the outfit and proportions are very similar and easily distinguishable. I also would not have thought this model had a wire armature underneath, but I find it interesting that it does, and I am amazed at the variation and personality in all the models ever produced out there.
