I am a little confused about how tie downs work. How do you tie the character down to the set without having holes in the floor?

magnets i think

errr.shout at it?

lol no magnets are great for tying down make sure they are strong and you have a thin set base

they can use tape or glue mabeyPlus I need some help it would be great if you could help !!!!!!

they don't use tape or glue jesusgirltoday

again...you could just give them a jolly good talking to!!!! ha ha!

Is that what you do with your plasticine xlyzzyx? hehe

ive tried that!!! its doesnt work jills, plastercine just doesnt listen!!!

cant be bothered with ties downs lol , not to mention ruining the set with holes, amazingly my characters are heavy which has always helped kepping themselves upright with no problems

mine jumped the last time i talked to it literally.
"stay there"
*CCCCRRRREEEEAAAKKK*
Thump!
"arrrrgggg"

"Now you listen here if you don't stand up i'll get the radiator on you that'll teach you"

Plasjas is very ruthless when it comes to plasticene

yes i'll give it what for

lol

I'd hate to be putty in your lots' hands then- plasticine bullies!

Conty have you tried sculpting em larger ears?

lol...i'm sure this thread is not quite giving the answers that iantimothy was looking for....LOL!!!

Holding them with tie downs against their will just because they won't listen... I'm afraid I have no choice but to report this to the RSPCP.

lol.

RSPCP? Rrdman Society for the Protection of Colored Plasticine?

ursrut ive left you a note on deviantart

royal society for the prevention of cruelty to platicine, squigly, but that wasn't bad

aah...like the ASPCA. I went the other route...NAACP. Shoulda made the connection between cruelty and tie downs. lol!!!

Hehe there is an RSPCA as well.

Iantimothy, have you tried doing the tie down yet (or the talking to part?), and what animation are you working on right now?

i i got some magnets that seem to work pretty well. an i'm working on Beaver Creek episode 2

cool..i shall watch it when it's done will yu put it on this site or stopmotionmagic

Whats going to happen wrong in Beaver Creek Episode 2 he forgets to read the How to Be a Beaver instructions Manual and starts singing again! hehee!

Lol Harry. Iantimothy, the first episode was fantastic and really well done, I'm looking forward to your next one-- when do you plan to complete it?

lip sync was really good on the last one aswell

yes, iantimothy...i really enjoyed BC1. How long did it take you to make it and do you expect to take as long with BC2?

I am thinking about a month to 2 months, i had quite a bit of technical difficulties in the first one, but i have that al figured out now so it shouldn't take as long, i am starting shooting next week. yeah im going to put it on here and stop-motion magic. and harry will just have to wait to find out what happens. hehe

uuummm in 2 months, maybe beaver creek has a christmas party being planned

Ohh yeah conty. What about them being santa and they just cant fly!

Or the river freezes and beaver buys some motorised ice-skates and doesn't read the instructions, which say, "do not use for over a 1 hour period each time or your skates will over heat!" So then the ice melts and falls into the water and it turns out he cant swim! However, duck comes to save him and then go to beaver's house to get dry but everybody's there and they all shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" And so, beaver plays his banjo to the tune of silent night and all the residents of beaver creak begin to sing!

Where can I buy REALLY strong button magnets?

Joshy!!! I dont know where you could buy them sorry. Have you make 62 West Wallaby Street yet?

joshy, i found some pretty decent magnets that worked for me at a hobby store, but you might try like a hardware store, or something.

Thanks Iantimothy! I'll try that!

I like that idea for a Christmas episode of Beaver Creek.

i hope they show creature comforts at xmas...cos i havent seen it in years!!!
