Foam Latex Puppetmaking 101

...with Kathi Zung

Claymation & Puppets how-to video: Foam Latex Puppetmaking 101 by Kathi Zung 4_bulb Review this video!

If you want to make your own foam latex puppets, this one hour video covers everything! The video is made by MTV's Deathmatch puppet maker Kathi Zung.

Here are some of the things that are covered:

  • How to sculpt your puppet to allow for easy mold making.

  • How to make Ultra Cal molds with tight seams.

  • How to create aluminum wire armatures.

  • How to center the armature in the mold.

  • How to run a batch of foam latex to cast your puppet

  • How to de-mold, trim, seam and paint your foam latex puppet.

Testimonial: "Recently I bought the Kathi Zung How-To DVD and delrin eyeballs. I was very surprised when they came in such nice padded envelopes with no damage at all. ( I have to admit for a home based business, I thought it would be worse.) After I painted the delrin eyes, I looked online to see if there where any cheaper ones and Marc's products were exceptionally low. Try it out yourself, you'll be impressed." ~Joe Ahern

Every possible topic relating to molding and casting a foam latex puppet is covered!

It was a good DVD the sound could have been produced better, its strength was more in the molding, casting, I would have liked to seen more sculpting techniques along with the molding and casting

Shows the complete process of making the mold and body of the character. A little jumpy in spots due to poor editing, but the information is very valuable and clearly illustrated. A good source of information.

This was a great video! She has a really great method for making clean easy to use molds. She also goes into good detail on how foam can be affected by temperature and humidity. Good information and great tips!

Informative and good. The video production itself was a little weak.
