WARNING: GUSHY POST ALERT! The last couple of years have been pretty full-on and it’s great to see some of the projects I’ve worked on finally being released. Once again joining Neal Scanlan’s workshop, this time as part of the 2nd unit puppetry team for Rocky in Project Hail Mary led by @itsaderek with @mattplyons72 @mohsen.nouri.26 and @miketaibi78 was great fun (if a little cramped. That cockpit dome wasn’t exactly roomy) and a real testament to the entire team of over a dozen puppeteers and countless CFX and VFX artists who brought Rocky to life in the final film. Dodge’s Pup School returned for the little ones with yet another lovely series of adventures directed by Damian Farrell and featuring @warrickbp @neilsterenbergpuppeteer @kat.smee @aneleheems @rebs_n_bingowings @andyheathpuppeteer Iestyn Evans @sheilaclark4362 JoeGreko @gold7046 and many more, who made up one of the nicest and most talented teams of puppeteers I’ve ever been lucky enough to be a part of. ‘Being’ giant Annabelle for a whistle-stop trip through The Conjuring Last Rites was an unexpected delight and then Digger finally arrived. Working again with Derek Arnold as well as @tomkwilton @claireroiharvey @lynnrb3 @sarahmardel and the folks from @legacyeffects @shaneyesthat1 and @brightshinypete we made Maggie the sickly cat look very ill indeed. Digger was one of the most technically challenging jobs of my career and I’m thrilled to see how wonderful the movie is. A real original with an incredible stand out performance by @tomcruise as well as a great turn from my old Star Wars and Wizards Vs Aliens pal @tombellforever , Digger is as brilliant and challenging as Alejandro intended and I’m very proud of our work and I strongly urge you to see it for yourself. There are still a couple of last years’ projects waiting to be unleashed, but that’s another story for another time… #diggermovie #projecthailmary #starwars #theconjouringlastrites #puppeteer 05 Oct 2026 I’ve been lucky to work on some amazing projects over the years, but I’ve never been involved in anything quite like Digger. It’s not something you can describe. It has to be experienced first hand. I think it’s a masterpiece and @tomcruise gives a performance that the term tour de force was created to describe. Will YOU like it? I don’t know. But neither will you unless you actually go. See it big and see it soon. LET’s FU*%IN’ GO! #digger #diggermovie #puppeteer 01 Oct 2026 We are pleased to announce that our ninth and final guest at Echo Base LIVE on 10th October is...

Alongside fellow UK performers @thatlaurabacon @warrickbp and @catrockpuppetry I joined US regulars @nicolette.santino and @orangehatmassey as members of Coldplays puppet band The Weirdos for 10 shows @wembleystadium I’ve been very lucky over the years to be involved in some fun, interesting and in some cases downright cool jobs, but nothing had prepared me for 92,000 people having the time of their lives. The combination of the band, the orchestra, the choir @pinksingers the fireworks and the crowd made it such an uplifting, fun and emotional experience and I’ll never forget it. Thanks @coldplay and the gang for letting me be a small part of something so wonderful. #coldplay #coldplaylive #coldplaywembley #puppet #puppeteer 22 Aug 2026 An AMAZING weekend This weekend in Orlando for The Nostalgia Con!
