B&Q - Later Means Never

Puppets by Nathan Flynn
2021
We had the pleasure of making the puppets for this charming mixed media stop motion commercial directed by Sam Gainsborough. In total we made 7 puppets in various states of dustiness, including 3 versions of Nigel, 2 versions of Lisa and 2 versions of Gus the dog. The characters were sculpted by hand with exaggerated brush marks to give a handmade, illustrative look. The finished puppets were made from silicone with costume work by Rachel Brown.
