PUPPET DESIGN

I designed a humanette puppet used by Drew Droege for the infamous homecoming scene.

Sometimes called a “living doll”, a puppet manipulated in front of the puppeteer, with the puppeteer’s head, and sometimes hands, appearing as that of the puppet.

Typically, the puppet body is much smaller than the human head. The puppeteer manipulates the hands and/or body to bring the character to life.
