Stop-Motion Moana
“We can rebuild her… We have the technology… We know the way!”
A few months ago I ripped apart a Moana doll and made it into a stop-motion puppet using a kinetic armature kit.
The walk cycle above was the first thing I animated with this puppet, and was just a throw-away practice test with no green screen. I had never done a walk cycle in stop-motion before and soon discovered how difficult animating a straight-ahead cycle within a localized space with no retakes could be.
I showed the cycle to my dad while he was holding my Moana puppet in his hand and he seemed more impressed with this crappy test than the actual animation I did on the movie! I think the combination of him holding the puppet, and then seeing it come to life on the video before him was what blew him away. I guess that’s the appeal and magic of stop-motion. :)
Here’s a second test I animated for fun:
I read that it’s best to have the foot joints nice and tight to hold the weight of the puppet, and have the arms looser. It’s amazing how much weight those toe and foot ball-joints could hold for the falling poses:
FYI bi people can also be attracted to all genders. That doesn't mean pan people aren't real, but bi encompasses a very broad spectrum. Just letting you know so people don't call you biphobic even though you just were new to the community. -A fellow pansexual
Thanks for letting me know,
We all make mistakes sometimes so it’s nice to be corrected.

Anyway, this is my Miraculous ladybug OC Alina Trina (Her parents named her that way) or Tigra Blanc, I wanted her to be a normal tiger but a white tiger sounded cooler and looked less similar to Rena Rouge.
Hiii!!! I noticed in your bio that you id as pansexual and im really new to the lgbt+ community and im sorry if this is a weird q ive been asking a lot of pansexual creators what pansexuality is and what it means to them.. im just trying to figure it out myself... im sorry if this is weird!! thank you for your time:)
It’s all good! Lots of people I’ve meet struggle to understand what pansexuality is.
It basically means that your attracted to all genders (Male, Female, Non-binary, etc...) and care more about the person themselves and who they are as people rather then the gender they were born as or identify as.
Not to be confused with Bisexuality which is attraction to just males and females
I’m not the most experienced in the community either and I haven’t been apart of it for all that long but I hoped this helped in some way!
Hi, I'm Nova. I’m a gay, asexual mess that’s trying to make something of my art and writing. I can’t promise it’ll be good, I can’t promise it’ll be regular, but it’ll be something.
