No Strings Productions uses many types of puppets to achieve the look of a story. Often times, a particular type of puppet is used because of the requirement of the role it plays, for example a giant or miniature character. A different type of puppetry can also be used in order to achieve a specific effect such as a story within a story done with shadow puppets.
Types of puppets we have used include:
- Moving-mouth puppets (like the Muppets)
- Rod puppets
- Shadow puppets
- Walk-around puppets (like Big Bird)
- Giant rod puppets
- Glove puppets
- Bunraku or tabletop puppets
- Marionettes
- And more…
The video above will give you an idea of how we have used different types of puppets in the past.
