Hallo, just an update on my work during the last week. Last monday (16th feb) I was in newport working on my molds and making some props for John's film (knopic jars). I stayed in newport till the wednesday working on molds with help from John and making a few odds and ends for him as well, but eventually I had to return to Bristol becasue I ran out of silicone (which i was using for making molds onf the head parts) and had a backup supply there. I cocked up the silicon moulding in bristol a bit as I diddnt shake the catalyst liquid before mixing it with the silicone, which ment it took several days to cure (some bits are still sticky now!) and I made a fair bit of mess, but its turned out okay now.. The weekend was quiet work wise as I was traveling around alot visiting a convention and seeing my grandmother. Today I've been finishing the last of the purs for my molds, making them all complete now (bar the facial mold). Once the 2 foot molds are set I'll take them to John Wright to help him build armatures to fit them, hopefuly I can do that this evening. Im heading to newport again tomorrow to see my dissertation tutor and I may hang around there for thursday as well to get advice from John on doing my resin casts and also so that I can speak to Larua Jons who has asked for some advice on using photoshop. During this week I also did a couple of sound tests, but they wernt that great, i need to get back into it. A few local mates of mine are gonna help me out with the sound now if all goes well.

Ive finally got some mold making pictures to put up, i have 7 molds finished so far, s'been a busy week! my resin and spare silicone arrived today so im beginning on the molds for the head armature next, and doing some test casts....

its been a while but ive been pretty busy, lately ive been making all my molds. They're not finished but ther well under way. Im gonna jot down a few key dates for when ive done things..
I finished the torso mold on the 1st of febuary after a few mishaps, and i took it to John Wright last thursday, he says the armature will take about 2 weeks from now. Last monday me and John started work on the 3 main support arms for the armature. i spent most of the last 2 weeks working on all my small molds, i now have all the boxes made for all molds except the feet and the hands, one kneww and one elbow are all bedded ready for the plaster. I got my laptop back from the repair guy on friday, so now i have a computer with working sound, so i can get back to work on the sound for the film.

My main concern right now is Noah's feet, they require the cunstruction of a 3 part mold and some fiddly armature work that could be costly. Im wondering wether to omit them somehow, either by avoiding shots showing them, turning them into visable stumps or replacing them with something, possibly mechanical prosthetics of some kind. Anyway ill draw up some ideas and try to work it out.

I have been taking pictures of the molding, and ill try and get them up soon, im just killing time at the minute.
