Zoe puppet: Symbiotic
Zoe final puppet turnaround. Responsible for all but costume.
Zoe mechanical and concept drawn by the director. Drawn to scale at 13 inches with a sculpture armature as a base. Worked with Director to match sculpt to concept as best as possible, adjusting scale as needed for puppet mobility.
Zoe was sculpted in NSP clay on top of a wire armature for stabilty. A mock costume was then draped over her sculpt to check final anatomy.
A wire armature was fabricated using 1/8" aluminum wire with polycarbonate rib cage and pelvis tapped to allow rigging. Ports were added to the sides of the pelvis and ribcage, as well as a sitting rig was added at an angle to the pelvis to allow for a natural sitting pose. The armature was then registered in her plaster mold and the mold was injected with pigmented GI 1110 silicone.

Elliot puppet: Elliot
Final Elliot puppet. Responsible for foam cast and body felting
Wire armature fabricated out of 1/8" aluminum wire with polycarbonate ribcage and pelvis tapped for rigging. Brass tubes were added with propoxy knee caps to keep a hard knee and elbow in posing. Armature was then registered in plaster mold (not responsible for mold) and cast in polyurethane foam to allow felting.
