Dolmio Day - Hand Puppets - Onset Behind the Scenes

Our company, Make-up Effects Group, was hired to design and build all the puppets for the DOLMIO pasta sauce, television commercial and print ad campaign. We developed the puppets over 11 years ago with an agency in Australia. They are all “Muppet” style hand and rod puppets. Some of the larger puppets have animatronic eye blinks. The campaign is still going strong after 11 years, and the charm of the puppets and the sets are still wonderful.
