The brainstorm process, tells me immediately that the so-called 'unprepared' getting started is very prepared, because of a lot of investment and insight already present.
Nice work! About to start this new art form... but these Bevel cuts are confusing. I understand "outside" or "Inside" bevel cuts, but how do you decide the degree / angle of the bevel? And those darn Darts! Why isn't there a 3D app that can tell us where to make the cuts?
Thanks! For the most part foam is pretty forgiving if you're in the ballpark of the correct angle. If you're not sure, try cutting them at a 45 degree angle and see how they fit. You can always cut or sand more material off. I wish there was a good, simple 3D app that created flat patterns, too! The biggest issue is that we're cutting curves to create smooth organic shapes, and 3d models are made of flat polygons. Best of luck trying things out!
@@AlexAndOlmsted Thanks for the tips. For whatever reason I decided to start with a complex shape. Gluten for punishment I guess. Don’t stop making these tips videos. Really helpful.
There should be an international day for people who make educational videos online. I mean there is world teachers' day but I feel like these two should be in a whole different category. Thank you, mate!
That's just a short length of galvanized wire that we straightened and then bent the end 90 degrees. It's really great for rotating a piece, instead of just moving it up/down or left/right.
@@AlexAndOlmsted Thanks! I don't have galvanized wire on me, but I do have some floral wire--have you had success using floral wire for control rods? I saw in a different video you use them for coiled joints which I might try out, too.
@@MochaHEllamcKaine I wouldn't try floral wire for control rods unless the puppet were very small and lightweight. You might have luck if you have some thicker gauge floral wire and twist several strands together, but I'd really recommend just getting a roll of galvanized wire from the hardware store. It's inexpensive and will last you years, likely.
I just got my 10 year old son his first boglin but he didn’t love it anywhere near as much as his 8 year old sister lol. I’m gonna have to get her more boglins!
I just found out about Boglins maybe a week ago and I just got one today for my 27th birthday. Having so much fun with it already. My 8 month old loves when I talk to him with it.
Vielen Dank für diese tollen Videos! Letzte Woche entdeckte ich euren "Morning Call" und war total begeistert davon, da ich gerade ein Papiertheater entwerfe und bastel. Heute entdeckte ich euer "Erklär-Video" dazu und bin noch viel begeisterter von euch! Ihr habt einen so faszinierenden Film entworfen und dann auch noch einen Blick in eure Werkstatt gewährt! 1000 Dank dafür!!!! Stephan aus Berlin, von den Anonymen Ukulelikern!
