ParaNorman (Photography and Diorama)

Last part of my ParaNorman series. :)

Laika did an amazing job and I'm pretty much excited with their next movie. Toys made by Huckleberry. The only complaint that I have is the peg. They should have just put the hole underneath the figure and not on the stand. But, overall, the quality is awesome! 

Made the diorama using sticks.

Move!

Alvin's in trouble. ParaNorman

ParaNorman is one of my favorite stop-motion. I made the diorama from sticks and other used materials. Will show you the behind-the-scene soon :)

Paranorman (The Dead are Coming)

My new dioraman project - Paranorman.

The dead are coming!!!

Diorama (God of War)

Just want to share the diorama I made couple of months and I'm finally taking Kratos for a spin this weekend. The Gates of Tartarus. :)

Made the columns using corrugated board. Added a board as support. 

Painted it using acrylic. 

After cutting the board, I applied plaster then immediately decorated it. I'm still yet to paint it but, I like the texture and color as it is. 

'Will post the final product next week. :)
