"Hey Fex, I enjoyed your bts video.. I liked the subtle results you got out of the clay with the mouth.. I fancy trying to do clay at some point.. yeah just like Nick I was curious interested in how you got that 'starfield' effect with the grey…"

"Fex - That's an original approach to creating a starfield, with the grey foam! Looks like you just change the lighting so it comes up black, with lots of little stars in different sizes and intensities, all there instantly. I've done starfields…"

"Green screen would not work because the clay is shiny, and it would reflect a lot of the green background, causing there to appear to be a hole in the puppets. It might have worked if there was a good deal of separation between the foreground and…"

"ok that's cool approach..

"My god, no! 23 feet is greater than real life! it is 23x16x12 inches. Good luck with the masks; first time all is complicated, but when you learn it, all is easy."
