HOW IT WORKS
01. PICK YOUR BOOPO
Start with the blank shape that sparks an idea.
02. MAKE IT YOURS
Add fur, fleece, foam, eyes, fabric, hair, clothing—or whatever your character needs.
03. BRING IT TO LIFE
Give it a name. Give it a voice. Give it a life all its own.
WHY START WITH A BOOPOS BLANK?
By the time you start, you're halfway done.
Before creating a character, a puppet maker has to figure out the mechanics of the puppet that want to build. How does it need to move? How do its pieces fit together? How does its mouth mechanism work? These are all questions that have to be answered before getting anywhere near character design.
The answer to those questions is a Boopos Blank puppet.
You begin with a professionally designed puppet foundation so you can spend more of your time on the part you actually came for:
creating your character.
