Stop Motion Puppet Making Video 7: PAX Painting a Puppet

In this video you will learn how to paint and finish a puppet using PAX Paint.

Balloon Rubber (not to be confused with slip cast latex rubber) and Pros-aide (key ingredient in PAX Paint) can be purchased through the following websites:

www.theengineerguy.com
www.burmanindustries.com
www.monsterclub.com
www.monstermakers.com

You can also do a google search to find the waxes used to attach cutout shapes to the puppet. Those waxes used in the industry are as follows:

Museum Wax (Used by Museums for making Diarama's)
Magicians Wax (Used by Magicians to do card tricks)
Gorilla Snot (used buy musicians to grip their guitar picks)

Hi there--is there a difference between balloon rubber and latex used for slip casting? I'm going through a similar process right now, but for a hand puppet, and notice that the foam latex wrinkles around the hands when they are bent--does the rubber prevent this?

Thanks, and great videos!

@thekrellant Balloon rubber is different then slip cast. You would basically dip the foam latex into the balloon rubber once than let it dry. You can do multiple layers and even spray the balloon rubber if it's thin enough and you have enough PSI with a spray gun. It will help to reduce the wrinkles.

Can we used any paint?

Can we add hair or fur?

[stopmotionmagazine]

@henryadrain14 You can use any kind of acrylic paint. I would however suggest getting a soft body paint since it will be smoother when painting and mixing. Yes you can add hair to the puppet.

@stopmotionmagazine Where can I find black/white hair or fur, to make a puppet Gorilla "KING KONG"

[stopmotionmagazine]

@henryadrain14 Burman Industries or Monster Club. You should call them directly if you can't find the stuff online. You can also get fake fur fabric from your local fabric store.

Fantastic animation series!

@mrnachoguzman No, Homer Simpson is a stereo-typical couch potato american man. Thus the puppet you see resembles that. Homer is Yellow, this guy isn't.
