Puppet Maker

During my time at Dwarf, I helped to create two puppets for the short film.

I helped to construct the armatures for the puppets arms and legs, while also taking care of the silicone steps. I molded and painted the limbs, while also assisting in preparing and painting the 3D printed components of the puppets.
