Materials for 'A Point of Que'

Lewis Newplast Plasticine

We used the 'Lewis Newplast' as it is a specialist materials that professionals use for animation. This ensures that we have the best quality materials which will therefore influence our final product. Creating was very easy, once you stretched the newplast it was very soft and easy to mould. However, we had to be careful that the colours did not mix. For example, with the white ball, using black and red made it difficult to keep the white clean. Alex moulded most of the tricky characters with small parts as he is more skilled in that than me. We are very happy with the end product, however we need more red. It took us just under six hours to produce our characters. Our new-plast we have used is very hard once it is moulded, therefore we have ease of use when changing facial expressions.
