Universal Studios Fiesta de Chupacabras - 2022

Studio - CJS Workshop

Role - Puppet Fabricator

Working with a small team at CJS workshop I helped to fabricate five chupacabra puppets for Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 2022. There were two large puppets built onto provided mechanical structures with pneumatic jaws and three heads puppeteered by hand. I worked to engineer and fabricate jaw structures so that the sculpted mouth of the head and lower jaw functioned on the metal skeleton as well as designing and building the mouth for the hand puppets. I molded and casted parts, sculpted, shaped the foam body of the puppets, and painted.
