Dracula greets guests to The Monster’s Birthday Party.
The Monster’s Birthday Party is a short film by Phillip Einfeld that’s in the same vein as Spook House Dave and Transylvania TV (me thinks me does detect a trend here). The puppetry in it is sometimes a little stiff, but the level of detail and work that [...]

Lines on Palms is the video for a recent single from Australian singer Josh Pyke. It’s filled with lots of simple, but very effective puppetry. The whole video looks like it takes place in a wonderfully whimsical giant toy theatre.
Thanks to Mike Marinos for [...]
