Chummy and Champ
Last year I had the privilege of working with Big Beak Pictures in Malaysia to build four puppets for their children’s pilot called Chummy and Champ. You can watch a behind the scenes video of the show here.
Below are the characters from the show:
First is Champ the energetic orangutan.
Next is Chummy the happy Sun Bear.
Here is wise old Captain the sea turtle.
And this is the laughing and protective Big Beak.
Big Beak Pictures has just wrapped up filming the pilot for the show and will soon begin shopping it around internationally. You can follow their blog for more information.
I really hope Chummy and Champ will be aired here in the U.S. I’d love to see the characters in action.
In another post, I’ll show a bit of the building process for the puppet characters.
Excellent work!!! Love them, attention to detail is amazing! (as always)
I’m Brian Zimmerman, a puppeteer with over 30 years experience and i’m currently living in Asia and have been given the opportunity to come on board as the puppet director and head puppeteer for the Chummy and Champ project. I just gotta say I love the puppets and it’s a pleasure to work with such well made tools of the trade. Keep up the good work.
