Character Development 2






From the storyboard i knew that i wanted to have a time-lapse type scene showing a female corpse decomposing.  I decided that the best way to go about this would be to get a pre-made plastic or rubber skeleton, mould plasticine onto it for skin and then gradually pick this off again during the course of the scene. The most frustrating part of this was, having already built one character, finding a skeleton of similar size. Eventually i found a build your own skeleton kit on Amazon from a company called Brightminds, yours for only £9.99 (+P&P);


I only actually ended up using the skull and ribcage as it was far too tall so i built the arms and legs from polymer clay on a wire frame, hardened in the oven then painted with acrylic. Dress by Katherine Rothwell.
