Hey it's #WorldPuppetryDay !

I'm a puppeteer, puppet maker, and am currently finishing my MFA project in isolation. I hope to bring some puppet goodness to a crazy time.

I'm working on a puppet program pitch for a program focusing on gardening, foraging, and cooking!

Following @VeraVulture 's example (a fellow puppetry student and amazing puppet maker, CHECK HER OUT) I thought I'd put a few more puppets I've made in this thread!

I thought I'd start with my stop motion puppetry! First up, a claymation short about a badger. #WorldPuppetryDay

Another stop motion short, a trial for "Endling", my first MFA pitch, which was unfortunately cancelled. This was a trial short for the first chase segment. #WorldPuppetryDay

My first attempt at lip sync! An assignment for my first stop motion class where we all got the same bit of dialogue and complete freedom on how to animate it. #WorldPuppetryDay

Another trial animation for "Endling", what was supposed to be the opening sequence showing a forest aging out of habitability for the New England Cottontail. This is cut paper stop motion with a backlight! #WorldPuppetryDay

A very quick trial of an owl and rabbit cut paper stop motion bit for "Endling". Hoping I can revisit this idea in the future to make something else out of a cancelled project! #WorldPuppetryDay

An animatronic experiment from my first year in grad school! Wink wonk! #WorldPuppetryDay
