if i was you i wouldnt show your videos on here as people can just download them and steal them which isnt good.

it dont matter to me, thanx about tellin me anway

That must ave taken ages to do that, with the little movements. I would love to work at Aardman too!

why cant i upload into the competition?

or this

model maker 93 your movies alright, but room for improvement. have a look at mine, and im only 13

TIPS:if your short of one colour of clay,roll it between your hands ,and mix two primary colours together,say green and blue to make dark green you can do this when you want to experryment

hi eddie, to upload your movie to our competition you will need to add it to YouTube first (its fairly quick and easy to create an account) Once you have done this go to our video entry page and enter the URL of your YouTube video. Hope that helps

i cant put mi advert 4 mi new film

It has always been my dreem since i had seen the first movie of wallace&Gromit

hi modelmaker93 you show was the best iv ever seen in a long time hint you should make some improved models like w&g

hey. yeah i agree with eddie. i'm 13 to ha ha, check out my videos on youtube. http://youtube.com/watch?v=C3NBQzgSXVI this is probably my best animation, i will be doing more later on though. please take a look

A few days ago I didn't have any intention of modelling. I have a few creation ideas that I'm working on, though, and I went to the craft shop for supplies today, and saw that plasticine was half price. That, plus all the models made by cool people here on the forum have inspired me to try it out. Can't wait to get started! I expect a little disappointment at first, but still, it must be fun.

modelmaker93 your film does work it was good but needed to be a bit longer

I like your movie, Modelmaker93!

I'm sorry I don't have any tips, I'm a beginner. I made my first Gromit yesterday. I liked it a lot, so I'm going to try to make other things. I know this is a simple question, but how tall should I make W&G and the others? Just do it by sight? I'm not ready for the Creations page, but I'm including a pic so you can see what I did so far. I needed a ring holder, so I had Gromit balance them in different actions (sorry I don't know the lingo). I need to mix the colour better and make the lighting the same. Here's one scene:

Wow that's a brilliant start, jills! I think this is ready for the competition, but I look forward to seeing what you make next!

Did you make any other shorts, Modelmaker93? How long did it take you to do True Love?

(Thank you, katie, that's nice of you)

great job jill, why dont you enter it? its fab for a first model, conor

your question jills about how tall to do your models, i dont think it really matters, my last model was 10 inches (growbag) but i am trying to make them about the same size as aardman, i think if it looks good to the eye is more important, conor

Thanks for the tip, Conty. Mr. Growbag was awesome; I had no idea he was that tall!

I am trying to do a better Gromit because I realized that I only gave him three fingers on his front paws.. how silly

im still here to help

your vids are nice just try making like a set or something cos doing it in front of a keyboard is a bit bland lol. i just got bit of blue card and stuck it in a corner on a wall and did it there lol it works just as well

take a look at what i mean in one of my vids(hint hint:wink

Bbbh, that's very cool

Hi all sorry i havn't answered to your qustions, my computer broke so i couldn't get on. Jills Great Model for holding the rings, And yes i have created other short films including Wallace and gromit it will be on later on today Probaly. good Videos everyone else. My Wallace is about 5 inches tall and my gromit when he stands on two feet is about 3 inches tall. Great Video Bigballbubblehead well as i say my new vid should be on later on today.

Here is my New video Wallace & Gromit's Halloween

i want to be a model maker at aardman to

if ur using plasticine for ur models a good tip to get them smooth is to use white spirit, this sort of melts the plasticine a little and makes it loads easier to get a really top notch finish. hope thats of help to people, i no it helps me loads.
also a really good thing to have is a rubber tipped paint brush, this kind of doubles as ur finger wen smoothing, but can get into places ur finger cannot.u can usually buy these in any good craft shop that sells specialist painting products.

hi this was ages a go my animations and models are way smoother and realistic now
