Muppets Cupcakes

The fruit of 3 days intense labour for my step dad's 60th birthday. 100% edible, hand made figures in pure sugar paste on top of vanilla buttercream and lemon spongecake.

 

        

PDP film project 2012: "Poop"

Here it is. Again, sorry about the watermark.

Finished puppet and set

Finished it JUST in time for shooting (when my heliumFrog program decided to screw me over big time, so I had to download a random trial version which put a horrid "TRIAL PROGRAM" watermark on top of it.)

More Build-up: Armature

Made of Epoxy putty and 1.5mm aluminium wire

Build-up puppets: Liquid rubber and such

Some photos of the long and tedious process of making a build-up puppet with foam and rubber (AND surprisingly large amounts of contact glue and epoxy adhesives - I'd recommend me a place with good ventilation if I decide to do this again some day)

I owe a lot of this sticky mess to Nick Hilligoss' awesome stop-motion puppet tutorials here.
