This head was
designed and created for characters of the
incoming Australian animated series. Our task
was to insert as many mechanisms as possible to
allow a wide range of facial expressions. The
task was rather challenging considering a very
small size of the head (only 1-2/3" tall). The
head and a mechanism was developed digitally,
produces by SLA and manually assembled and
adjusted. We never heard about another attempt
to insert so many mechanisms and articulation
points into such little room. Therefore, when
the two first heads were assembled and proved to
be working smoothly, it was a real celebration.
High-end model
modern making
technology combined with advanced skills and
comprehensive design once again proved to be a
productive symbiosis.
