I animated this interstitial for PBS KIDS’ Let’s Go Luna! from my home studio using handcrafted foam puppets. This project was a great opportunity to explore the versatility of foam as a material while creating expressive character animation within the playful and imaginative world of the series.
Working independently from my studio, I brought these handmade puppets to life through performance-driven stop-motion animation, capturing the charm and tactile quality that makes the medium so unique.
