Name: Maximillion Winkledinkle
Alias: Fist Tuck
Age: 27
Occupation: Boxing Legend
Background Knowledge: Growing up, Winkledinkle was bullied a lot by his fellow class mates because of his name and the fact that he was a wimp. One of his names was even Wimpledimple. His father was ashamed of him because of this. Then, out of a desire to prove himself, Maximillion went on to devote his waking hours to become the most fearsome, legendary boxer there ever was.
Reason for Creation: I created this character because I am a fan of the Rocky films and a sucker for an underdog. Also, he reflects my own personal feelings of societal inadequacy.
The short piece of stop-motion animation shown above features the plasticine character which I previously designed called Maximillion Winkledinkle or 'Fist Tuck'.
The animation is 72 frames (3 seconds) long. The movements that I tried to achieve were two punches and a cheer to create the idea of a victorious boxer. Whilst the cheer went well, I found it challenging to get quite the movement that I wanted for the punches. Nonetheless, I am pleased with what I have created as you can still see a high level of quality and fluidity in the claymation.
