Storm Boy

Building the Puppets

Watch how the team at Dead Puppet Society designed and built the puppets in Storm Boy.

The world of Storm Boy is populated by a menagerie of creatures from the Coorong, including penguins, snakes, fish and, of course, pelicans.

These intricate animal puppets created by Dead Puppet Society are the brainchild of David Morton, Puppet Designer and Associate Director of Storm Boy.
