The Beginnings of GERO

So here are some pictures of the naked armature that will eventually become the character Gerald, also known as "Gero" ( Pronounced Jeh-Row ) or "Gurld." ( Pronounced Jurrrld )I'm going to be using Gero in my Animation 380 Stop-Motion Class, but eventually, he'll be animated in his own little shorts. Not sure when Gero will make his big-screen debut, as he's second in line behind Le Bunny Le Foo, but I can guarantee when he does, he'll make headlines. Maybe we can get Gero featured on Web Soup. That would be awesome.

Above: Gero's feet. I think these are the best tie-downs I've made yet. Considering Gero is only the fourth epoxy-armature based puppet I've made, I think he's coming along well.
