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.
