Another commission for the excellent Josh Funk and his short film. 

This time the puppet had to be more hunched over, with an angrier expression. I gave a bit more flexibility in the puppet for expression, for example, the neck is a little longer and can now 'lurch' from side to side. The same for the jaw wiring. I really cannot wait to see these being animated, the snippets I've seen so far look great and it's so lovely to see a film being put together combining such textural and traditional elements alongside modern computer editing!

You can see some of the making of the film that's still currently in production here:
