I recently posted a longer video about my Oz Puppet to that other video platform that we can't mention here. Search @jantzerstudios and Oz Puppet, and it should come up. (On Y T) But I thought I would repost this one just for fun. DM me to see if it's available for your production of The Wizard of Oz! Also, see my Toto puppet.

People seemed to enjoy the video I made about the mechanism for my snarl puppet, so I thought I'd do a quick one to show what it looks like in the actual puppet. If you are doing a production of Firebringer you could rent this for your show! #jumpscare #puppets #firebringer #snarl #jantzerstudios #puppetbuilder #mechanism #animatronics #puppetmech #starkid

We are excited to work with @thistleroseacademy to build 2 puppets for "Our Shared Home". As puppet designers, it was important for us to use environmentally friendly materials to align with the theme of the project. These puppets were made almost completely out of repurposed cardboard and scrap wood. Jeff brought his daughter @kyrajantz on board to Design the puppets, this is their first professional father/daughter collaboration. #environment #dance #theater #repurposed #puppets

We are very excited to work on this project for @thistleroseacademy . The project is a collaboration between many Detroit area artists with a performance at the Hillberry Gateway at Wayne State University on May 17th, 7:30. I am especially excited to work on this project because I have been able to include my daughter @kyrajantz as the designer. (Not just because she is my daughter but because she can draw animals way better than me!) Why cardboard, you ask? The title and theme of the project is "Our Shared Home", so it was important to us as the puppet designers to use materials that are environmentally friendly. Almost all the materials in this project are repurposed or scrap. The only exception is the glue and hardware. #earth #earthday #puppets #cardboard #detroit

A Flying Monkey's got to fly! But sometimes it's got to stand. That's what that lever is for. When it's in the down position, you can gain more control over the body movement by holding it closer. We have three of these monkeys and could potentially make more! Rent them for your production of Wizard of Oz! #puppetbuilder #flyingmonkeys #wizardofoz #mechanism #puppets Shot by @merridrummer Music by @kidpennymusic
