Making the characters

I actually found making the characters really difficult. I had to make them big enough to move properly but not too big that they would be disproportionate to the set. I made a couple of different prototypes to see which size would look better. 

I then had to decide how much detail I was going to put into the characters. I had the basic shape but I had to decide if I was going to use different colours for their clothes, faces etc. I tried to make outfits for the characters but it proved to be really difficult. The characters fell apart whenever I played with them too much. 

I therefore decided to keep them basic. I would rather the characters be all one colour than making them more detailed if they were going to keep falling apart during filming.
