Spongebob: Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom

Screen Novelties

For the Spongebob Squarepants: Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom stop motion Halloween special, I worked as a Jr. Puppet Fabricator at Screen Novelties. I had the wonderful opportunity of cleaning, repairing, painting, and fabricating puppets as well as doing Last Looks. I will always have a soft spot for Spongebob and his Bikini Bottom pals, after working on this special.

I color matched and mixed Gary's paint colors

I created and painted many parts of the Squidward puppets, including his mouths, prepped and painted the cast parts, painted and epoxyd the eyeballs, and suction cups .

I cut and shaped the foam
for Sandy's tail, and cut and sewed the fur as well.

I created a clay Plankton for a claymation shot

I prepped and painted this special Flying Dutchman
puppet head.

I created wings and wands for these background fish puppets.

I created multiple sets of armor for Patrick puppets and repaired many pieces as well.

I sewed the fabric onto the Patrick puppet and made his eyeballs, tongue, and teeth to match the animatic and the Director's visions.
