I made some marionette puppets for the J. Viewz music video “Come Back Down” (the boy, girl, birds, and turtle.) The puppets were made out of blue polystyrene foam and acrylic paint and dressed up in bits of foam and some bright fabric from socks. Some tiny wire hinges kept the puppets joints loose enough to be puppeted by fishing line, along with bendy yarn legs.

Alisa Stern, Peter Ahern, Jeff Wallenhorst, & Matt Witham put this whole project together with their super design work, puppeteering, propmaking, and animation skills. Alisa even made us waffles!

Right now, the video is exclusively on Spinner, so please check it out:
