​

​The Brief

To contribute to physical puppet fabrication and character finishing for Tim Burton’s stop-motion feature film Corpse Bride, produced at Mackinnon & Saunders & animated at 3D Mills Studio in East London. The project required meticulous craftsmanship across armature-based puppets standing 15 to 18 inches tall, designed to perform on large-scale physical sets with integrated animator access systems.
