Practitioners 

Damon Bard

Damon Bard is a freelance artists that designs puppets and develops characters and creatures.  He is known to have worked on movies such as, kung Fu Panda and Coraline. I decided to look in Damon Bards work because I was interested in different styles of character design so for me this includes sculpting. I think his work is very thought-out and precise. His designs are so different and unique as they seem to look aesthetically different based on the project he is working on. I want to get better at fitting my designs to the brief as I want to be able to better my style when designing my characters.  

Adam Elliot 

Adam Elliot is a stop-motion animator writer, director, and producer. I chose this artist because I wanted to look at the different jobs within the stop-motion role. As I had already looked at the makers on an stop-motion puppet I was also interested in the movement of them. Adam Elliot's full length movie was in 2009 with the making of 'Mary and Max'. I liked his work because when I read an interview where he talked about his work (http://www.skwigly.co.uk/adam-elliot-interview/) it said about how he visually made the models look like they was made for a children's show however, they would have dialogue that could only be used for adult entertainment.
