Kaiju Pulgasari
In a spoof of Larry Roemer and Kizo Nagashima’s Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 1964, the iron-eating kaiju Pulgasari stands in for Sam the Snowman. Introducing the audience to the legend of young Gary.
I was contracted to produce the stop-motion animation for Daikaiju Legends upcoming christmas special. The animation needed to be delivered on a tight schedule, hence, I produced it using a small set and two puppets.
Pulgasari had two puppets: one bust puppet for the closeup shots and a miniature full-body puppet for the wide shots. Pulgasari needed no replacable mouths, and had a built-in moveable jaw for the mouth animations.
