Tanolian scorpion

Here's a logo design that I've made to represent the mighty Tans. I took inspiration from the following photos. 

The idea is to merge the letter T into the logo. I chose the scorpion because this insect resembled the letter T and I thought it would be badass.

 
Here is a sketch of my design. 

I pasted the sketch in illustrator and came out with this.


I'm quite happy with the result. I will be using this on little props like flags or posters for the scenes.  If I haven't mentioned, the Tans are the protagonists in my film and the Greens are the antagonists. More details about that in another post.

Experimental film


Here's a video I made last year. It's purely experimental and does not have a story in it.

I used a program called Stop Motion Pro and a webcam to capture the pictures. I think the advantage of using a webcam is that focus is consistent. And it's small so if you prefer filming indoors and in cramped spaces, webcams will help a lot. 

Also, if you're interested in using Stop Motion Pro, visit www.stopmotionpro.com. They have good resources to get beginners started in using the demo program. The full software is purchased.
