Armatures and frames for puppets
We build sturdy internal armatures so that puppets hold their pose and stay controllable in animation.
How freely an animator can move a character depends on a good armature. We make armatures that withstand hundreds of pose changes, do not loosen and allow precise control of movement.
We develop armatures for a specific task: a series, a commercial, an exhibition or a one-off project.
We tune the stiffness of the joints so the puppet does not “fall” between frames or shake.
We can make just the armature for an already finished puppet body and head.
We choose materials and solutions to fit the project’s budget and duration.
How we work on a project
Step 1
We receive references or character sketches from you, along with the project format.
Step 2
We propose a type of armature and discuss mobility and attachment points.
Step 3
We build the frame, test it in motion and make corrections if needed.
Step 4
We hand the armature over to you or use it in the full puppet production cycle.
