Process:
Building the film was a labor of love! All the sets and puppets were made by hand, and brought to life using traditional stop motion animation techniques.

Building the restaurant exterior from cardboard and balsa wood.
Painting the restaurant.
I used miniature people for the restaurant exterior scenes.
Building armatures for the puppets with wire.
I sewed costumes for each puppet.
Patio chairs built from balsa wood, before spray paint.
Tiny clay food and beverages.
Bringing it all together, ready to be animated.
