My main reason for making the dolls was to draw from and to use in stop motion and i realised in my first test animatic (which i should if its not been deleted be putting up in due time) that i was going to need some form of background and surrounding area. i decided to make my own circus tent because of my research into the circus itself.
So to make the tent i used a pin board base with a frame nailed and glued into it made from wooden sticks and nails.
After the frame was made i took a large sheet of material and draped it over the frame, cutting holes for the spikes to poke through. I then cut the material to fall and cover the tent without overlapping each other, except for the front where it will be tied back which would produce folds in the material any way.
Before putting the material back on i painted each side and roof with red and white stripes like that of a traditional circus tent, but i darkened the colour with brown to make it have a more sinister feel, i did this on both sides of the tent.
