About Marcel Delgado

- His technique revolutionized the stop motion film industry.

- Delgado built a skeleton for his models.
- This skeleton was made from Dural and it was then filled in with foam rubber or cotton cloth and covered with latex to serve as skin, giving his models a more natural and realistic look, while simultaneously making it easier to handle them.
- Sometimes he also incorporated an inflatable bladder that helped him simulate breathing.
