Closing in on the final stretch of "Little Guys... In Space!" From here, there's only sound design, a few still photos, and digital effects to do. Here's some photos from the last of the stop-motion:
The government agents scene had one of the highest detail-to-shortness ratios. Here, their props have both been transformed into Little Guys!
All of the shots in the mission control room were animated in one day.
I ran out of time to build a complex background for these scenes, so I added these greeblies to a wall made entirely of colored baseplates. Having just read a book about the costumes of Star Wars, I was perfectly primed to create things that look spacey but don't necessarily have any specific purpose.
The final scene
The final shot called for a camera move down a reaaaaaaally long table, so I built this platform out of wood to serve as the tabletop structure.
I then covered the top with 15" baseplates.
We used minifigures to plan out the final scene, getting an idea of their arrangement, color schemes, and general look.
Starting to stage the final scene with some reuse stand-ins for scale reference.
I built this extremely makeshift camera cradle to tilt the camera up at an angle.
We added grey plates to act as a channel for the camera to slide along.
One member of the final scene's Alien Council.
Jeff stages the completed characters for the final scene.
These numbered "bars" are used to change the angle of the characters' necks. More characters means more bars.

Almost there! 😅
