I just came across these fun stop motion videos from The Sylverados. It’s classic frame-by-frame stop motion utilizing simple wooden manikins. What I appreciate most about them is that they are extremely simple but very entertaining. It just goes to show that you don’t need a big production budget if you have a good idea. For more info, go over and check out The Sylverados website.

Moving Puppet is a French puppet production studio that has been an inspiration to me for a long time. I love the fun and slightly bizarre look to the characters that they create. The website is in French, but the work speaks for itself. To see their work in action, be sure to check out the Demo Reel on their home page!

I recently came across these great needle felted finger puppets by made by moxie. I love the personality in these tiny little creatures, especially the one above.  They truly are works of art, and as moxie says “art is my oxygen”. You can purchase some for yourself on her Etsy shop,or check out more images on her Flickr page.
