HOOT is a stop-motion puppet made during the Aardman Academy course "From Sketch to screen" with Jim Parkyn and Nancy Rose. I jumped on this occasion to practice a more cartoony and whimsical style to bring this owl gentleman to life.

​

 From a 3D printed armature, the character is mostly made of plasticine clay, fabric and leather clothes with aluminium wires to give them movement, and Sculpey details.
