From a simple script, to storyboards, to animation. This project was heavily inspired by the music video “Eternal Horizons” .

I had a blast the entire way through, keep scrolling to see some parts of the process.

Because I started with the action figures of the Doom Slayer and Ash, I needed to build my set to match them. This included booty measurements.

Originally I intended to have the Doom Slayer on a bar stool, but he couldn’t articulate enough to be seated so I chose to have him just be standing at the bar.

An upgrade from the Ikea 2x2, now I work on an Ikea table! Unfortunately this thing wobbles a ton, and I’ll probably end up building my own workbench eventually.

But this offers a better working surface and it’s right next to my PC set up, so easier to look at DragonFrame that way.

I built the set from dollar store foam core, one of my go to crafting materials. I then carved a brick pattern and painted it with acrylic paint. I really enjoyed the brick texture here.

Foam safe super glue is absolutely necessary for materials like foam core and extruded polystyrene! Most other super glues will melt the foam.

This glue was used to adhere the shelves to the brick wall, but they also have brass tacks in the back for extra support.

Once everything is built I’m ready to shoot! Once again I should have used clamps or an adhesive to keep the set steady.

The backdrop is a simple black velvet clamped to a pvc frame I built for holding up backdrops and green screens.

I’m also learning to document more of my process, sorry there isn’t more to show for this project, but thanks for reading!
