case studies

Every production presents its own creative and technical challenges. Our case studies provide an insight into how Stitches and Glue collaborates with production teams to design, develop and manufacture bespoke puppets, creature effects, animatronics, costumes and practical effects for film, television, theatre and live productions.

Working closely with Visual Effects (VFX), Special Effects (SFX), Production Design, Art, Costume and Puppetry departments, we create practical solutions that support every stage of production, from concept development and reference models to hero assets, performance puppets, creature suits and on-set practical effects. Our collaborative approach ensures every build integrates seamlessly with the creative vision and technical requirements of each project.

These case studies showcase a diverse range of commissions, illustrating our design process, fabrication techniques, material innovation and problem-solving expertise. From static reference pieces and highly detailed hero props to fully articulated performance puppets and complex creature effects, each project demonstrates our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, durability and realism for productions in the UK and internationally.
