Boggin

Our beloved puppet Chug.

He is our banger boggin puppet. Boggin is a term for a really wasted, washed up down and out kind of person. The type of guy or gal you’ve seen posted up on those benches at Carre St.Louis knocking back 40 pounders of Russian Prince at 10AM. You know, the booze hob goblins and the gasoline huffers. Those’re Boggins.

So we decided to make this little video…an experiment really, to take this character Chug to the next level.
Watch what happens when Chug the Boggin gets super wasted!

Currently Chug is sitting in the production office at Nu Films here in Montreal…but we plan to break him out for a new episode of debauchery so stay tuned!

We made this sculpture…a static version of one of our puppets for an art show back in December 06.

I documented some of the steps involved just to give you an idea of how it’s done.
Now we pretty much taught ourselves how to do this on our own, so really anyone could if they wanted. You really don’t need many supplies, just a trip to the hardware store and a bucket of silicone….and time.

You start out sculpting your head.

Build your armature…this one is made of wood and wire.

Pouring then casting your mold.
