The photos below are from the former Universal Experience museum at Universal Studios Hollywood, and show some of the models from the Universal release ‘Paranorman’. The replacement faces in particular are of interest, because they show the level of work required to make the mouth movements synchronise with the pre-recorded dialog tracks. 3D printing technology is used to produce the parts, and they snap onto the puppet heads using magnets to hold them in place. The join between the mouth and eye sections is removed digitally in post-production.
