From June 2010 through May 2011, I was part of an independent studio here in Chicago called Colorphony Creations. Here, I was part of a project called The Magic Boat, a children's puppet show. My role on this webisode series was Animator, Prop Maker, Set Designer, Editor, Foley Artist, and Co-creator.
These puppets were
created by me for the introduction of the show. They are stop-motion
puppets ranging from three inches to seven inches in height. Each
puppet is structured with a metal skeleton with working joints. Their
bodies are carved from upholstery foam and dressed with fabric.

These are the hand
puppets used in the webisodes. They are about two to three feet in
height. All are made from upholstery foam and fabric.

In early 2011, The
Magic Boat received a grant to perform live shows in the park of Wicker
Park. I was part of the set design and prop making department.
