About the process!
This is my senior capstone project. With a crew of over ten other classmates, we were able to make the circus love story come to life!
Over 130 assets, 20 separate puppets, and 200 individually drawn faces!
The puppets
Zo
Based of vintage circus posters and paper puppets. I wanted to make the topic of sex to be vulnerable and digestible, so puppets were the answer.
