Custom Original Design

Custom Original Design

As with any good product that has to be produced, good design is key. As a puppet builder and puppeteer I understand the importance of good character design sketch to puppet design right through to performance.

It goes without saying that aesthetic is very important but while designing a new character it is equally important to consider questions like,

  • How will the puppet move?
  • What range of movements can be achieved?
  • How will the puppet be operated?
  • Will the design translate into 3-D?
  • What colors and textures can be used?

This is the most important stage in creating a puppet.
