Every once in a while, a client will ask for something more in line with a prop rather than a costume or puppet. These can range from toy prototypes all the way to party stage pieces. Sometimes the item will be quite large, which is typical at the studio, and other times will be tiny, which requires a bit of a brain shift from the norm. But whether it's big or small doesn't matter, we'll give each item the same amount of effort.
Here's a few examples for you to size up:
 |
| Saturday Night Live contacted the Carfagno Studio late one Friday night and asked for a prop parrot sitting in a game show chair. With such a weird request, who could say no? Randy called me up and I ended up building the game chair that night, while he worked on the bird. It's made using a variety of PVC, plastics, and a little bit of foam and leather. |
 |
| This is a toy prototype that sadly never made it to the stores. The client wanted fully posable and plushy toys, so I set to work on creating a foot tall skeletal structure for this lovable little guy, complete with a soft foam skull to keep that adorable face structure. |
 |
| These Jenna-babies were Jenna's (30 Rock) fall back plan inspired by Precious Moments. After designing and sculpting these little cuties, I cast them up to make a few duplicates and the Carfagno crew painted them nice and pretty. |
 |
| Here we have three 22 foot replica watches for Audemars Piquet Watch launch installation. Because nothing says million dollar watch like three giant sized working watch replicas. I over saw their construction, painting, and installation. |
