Dan of the Dead/Website

Hi all
I have a few things to shout about today. Firstly, I am working on Scope Animations website. This is my company which is producing Dan of the Dead. It's not launched yet but there is a sneak peak at Dan of the Dead behind the scenes on the home page. Check it out
www.scopeanimation.webeden.co.uk
Secondly, today I have been to see Darren who is making the Zombies for a catch up and see where he's up to.
He was waiting for me to approve his Zombie head before priming it. Which he did while I was there






The zombie is ready for Daz to paint. But not until I give him a new armature. The one I gave him turned out to be slightly small from the waist to neck. Also the arms could do with being longer. I shall work on them this week and pass it back to him for full fabrication and painting. Here are a few shots of the finishes zombie head primed
























That's all for now. Please keep checking this blog and let everyone else know about it. Dan of the Dead T-Shirts are coming soon folks
Bye for now
Pete

Dan of the Dead Video

Hi guys,
I'd like to say thank you for your continued support on this project. It's starting to get the coverage I think it deserves. Recently we have been featured on www.animateclay.com one of the most viewed websites for people in Stop-Motion Animation. My thanks go out to Marc Spess, awesome dude!!!
I recently did a Stop-Motion talk to Middleton Rotary Club. Rotary has had some great press recently on the BBC for almost eradicating Polio in 3rd World Countries.
This was a good evening to show everyone "Dan of the Dead", So I did... with a video slide to capture the project perfectly. I wanted to post the video on here but YouTube are being funny about the music I chose for the slide.
I'll try and sort it out soon
Thanks again for your continued support
Pete
