REALLY BIG MONSTERS!!!

Often times I am commissioned to build the impossible...

Be it for theatre, film, theme parks, parades, conventions or in your own back yard: NOTHING is impossible.

Here are some examples of large scale puppets and walk around monsters I have designed and built for past clients. Many of the large puppets require engineering of mechanisims to create movement beyond the reach of the performer. In all cases, these improvised contraptions add to the overall "wow" factor. Enjoy!
