Unfinished Fester Fish Stop-Motion Puppets (from 2013) (Patreon)

Building Fester Fish Stop-Motion Puppets (footage from 2013, abandoned)

Before I moved to LA in 2013 I was working on a Fester Fish stop-motion short, along with other episode ideas. Here's some footage I shot while building the characters, but this is as far as it got! Moving across the continent kind of killed it. This stuff is still sitting in a box in Toronto but I'm scared to open it at this point. As you can see from this footage I had no idea what I was doing. It was going to be janky but probably still kind of cool. Inspired by Puppetoons, I was building separate figures for stretch and squash poses and I'd figured out how to do a low-budget Fleischer-style background pan. Moving across the continent kind of killed it though! patreon.com/aaronlong
