Foam Latex Animation Instructional DVD
BoingBoing blogged about How to make latex puppets for animated videos and I immediately went to the website and plunked down my money for the instructional DVD. Foam latex is a casting substance which I have a deficit of information on. This is extremely timely as the fiberglass outer shell on Linux-tan's silicone mold is almost complete. Nobody brought a camera to Sunday's party (which was very successful by the way) or I'd have photos.
I've said before that I intend to make at least two finished Linux-tans, one in flexible foam and one in a hard substrate. I'm still debating what hard substrate to use. I'd rather not make a solid casting, especially of a heavy material such as plaster or expensive material such as Alumilite, because Linux-tan is so large. Fiberglass is a possibility, especially since I'll probably have some left over from creating the outer shell.
