Cravendale - The Making Of

Yamination Studios recently created an advert for Cravendale Milk. Here's a short documentary on how they made the sets towards it:

The thought of being able to build a set and animate in stop motion is one of the main reasons I became interested in animation in the first place. Seeing behind the scenes footage on films such as this one only fuels my inspiration, whilst giving me a glimpse of how professionals create amazing pieces of work.

Seeing how much detail goes into making simple objects in a scene and the techniques that are used to get the right textures of materials (such as burning a piece of wood to develop the old, rustic look of the building) shows me that there are many ways to be creative in achieving the look you want.

At some point during my time at university in the next 2 years I would like to try building a set, for the purposes of discovering new materials to work with and figuring out the best ways to animate with certain tools, so I can develop a better understanding of what can be achieved with stop motion when thinking of my own stories/animations in the future.
