Disingenuous Orchid Sex

2011-12-30_16-19-12_896

This is my first attempt at claymation. Ben did his senior project in claymation, so I ran around the biology department until I found someone with reference materials that they could give me. Armed with a jar of wasps and a DVD of their behavior, Ben and I set out to make realistic models. It took three days to build Whisk Wasp and the Chiloglottis Orchid, a two foot high model of an orchid that is only as big as my pinky nail in real life. As soon as it’s edited I’ll be sure to share it, I think it looks awesome!
