Service Details

At Geppetto Studios, we know that puppets are more than props—they’re the heart and soul of any performance. From charming hand puppets to advanced animatronic creations, we craft a diverse range of puppets tailored to meet the needs of any project. Our team collaborates with you to bring even the most complex or unique character ideas to life.

Custom Puppet Designs for Every Need

We offer custom puppet designs for television, film, theater, live events, and marketing. Each puppet we create is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the production, ensuring that it not only looks amazing but also performs seamlessly. Whether you need a simple, traditional puppet or a more complex, mechanical creation, our expert team can bring your ideas to life.

Crafting Puppets with Precision and Creativity

Our puppet fabrication process involves both traditional and modern techniques to ensure that each puppet is made to perfection. We use a range of materials—from soft fabrics to durable plastics and high-quality silicone—to create puppets that are visually stunning and built to last. Whether we’re creating a puppet for a live performance or a television show, we ensure that every piece is carefully crafted to achieve the desired look and functionality.


The process begins with conceptual sketches and design, followed by sculpting, molding, and construction. Our team of skilled artisans then brings the puppet to life with detailed painting, intricate costumes, and functional mechanisms. We pay close attention to every detail, ensuring that the puppet looks fantastic and operates smoothly, no matter how complex the design.

Fitting and Testing

Once the puppet is constructed, we conduct a series of fittings and tests to ensure its performance. From testing its movements to adjusting its mechanisms for ease of use, we make sure the puppet performs flawlessly. Our goal is to make sure that when you receive your puppet, it’s ready to go live, perform on screen, or make an impact in your marketing campaign.
