two weeks ago I found out I had been asked to create two bed bug puppets for a pest control company and the Bowling Green television station WBKO. The budget wasn’t very big and the time was very limited but I really pulled this one off. Firstly, with restrictions in mind, our director, Austin Albany, created a simple yet effective design for the bugs. There were to be two, each slightly different than the other.
After getting the design, it was my job to bring them to life.
I finished them off with a mouth-full of carved foam teeth and voila! They are nasty, scary, and ready for action on screen.
