only works in the

HAND PUPPET FILMS
What do our films look like?
They look good. Puppety stuff. We blend live-action hand puppetry with landscape photography, and use old-fashioned compiling techniques that preserve the organic flare. Our puppets are handmade, human powered, and irreplaceable by newer technologies-
you know what I am talking about here.
Here's Jack. Jack boasts 2 of the 4 hands that create our films. When he isn't manipulating our puppets, he is certain to be found at his piano.
This isn't Kristin, but there is certainly some likeness. Kristin provides the other 2 hands used to create Studio Aristo films. When she is not manipulating puppets, she is probably doing something else... handy.
HANDS
MUSIC
All of our music is created along side with our projects, so it captures the subtilties of our puppet's thoughts and the splendour of their bigger world.
Jack, being the composer and one of the two puppeteers, is quite 'handy' when it comes to knowing exactly what the characters are feeling.
THE FROG OPERA
Our first film, Toadette the Puppet Opera
metamorphosed into a stage opera in the
summer of 2022. This is an ongoing project,
but we invite you to see a bit of it here.
