(Hypothetical: say the character is wearing a pointy birthday hat, you could line it up every time to the point on that hat as well). Many animators will stick a pin into the puppet somewhere and then line up the point of the surface gauge to the tip of the pin.

How to use: after you have shot a frame, line up the point of the surface gauge to some trackable point on the puppet. I use basic animation lingo and apologize if there are any total total beginners out there who get lost! Feel free to email me with specific questions: TIPS:ġ) USE A SURFACE GAUGE: A surface gauge will help you keep track of the 3-dimensional movement of the puppet between frames more accurately than you can track in dragonframe. Usual disclaimer: I am still by no means an expert and must warn that there is absolutely a chance that I misinterpreted a piece of advice here and there, BUT I’ll do my best! Most things will be pretty concrete tips.
I learned so very much and have a lot of awesome tips and information to share for those who are interested in working at LAIKA. I just finished a 3 month internship as a stop motion animation intern at LAIKA and wanted to write a post about my experience while my memory is still fresh.
