Production Concept: Puppet design

Stage Two

Discussing the parts of the design which I was unhappy with, these are the changes we decied would be more suitable for her appearance...

Our overall look for ‘Sally’ had changed, making her more friendly and happy looking. We changed the colour of her hair to purple to emphasize her features as a puppet.  We have also changed the colour of her nose, which again exaggerates her puppet features giving her a real ‘muppet ‘ style look.

Her clothes are exactly how we wanted them from our character profile and have added small feature such as a pen to her waistcoat and a brooch to her collar as small traits that will be identifiable by the audience.

These sketches designs show ‘Sally’ without her glasses. This was purely for design purposes to show her full features. She has rounded eyes, which are close together and an oval nose that is common for most

muppet-esque style puppets.

Her body will be made of felt instead of fur to emphasize the fact that she is a human character and not a monster. She will be bright yellow in colour and will be a typical rod-and-arm style puppet. This means she will only be visible from the waist up and will only need one puppeteer to control her.
