The focus with these tests was light and depth. I didn't have access to the lights I will have in production, but it was still worth testing. The camera had problems with picking up the dimly lit backgrounds. This is something I will have to address and think about when designing my sets and lighting it.
The wire armature is also about to break at the hip and I am certain I won't be using wire in my final puppet. I got a total of three days shooting. But can i justify spending lots of £ on a John Wright armature? Chris thinks there are other solutions, but they are all very time consuming.
