Interview With Elizabeth Luce, Part 6
Elizabeth Luce is a graphic artist, illustrator and puppet designer. She has a Master of Fine Arts in costume and set design from UCLA and has worked on a variety of film, television and theatre productions. Elizabeth designed puppets for a Children's Fairyland production of The Wizard of Oz and Snapdragon Puppets' Emmy-winning video The Mousecracker. I asked her to share her thoughts on puppet design.
PJ: Could you talk about the challenges of translating a two-dimensional design into a three-dimensional character?
EL: Creating more than one view of the character if others are involved with the building. I might think it's obvious what the character looks like from the side view, but it really isn't to someone else.
Choosing the right building materials -- this can make or break your design.
Doing a mental run-through of the building process from start to finish so that all steps happen in optimal order and you don't have to retrofit something.
Making mockups as many times as needed to get important parts right before going for the final version.
