HOW TO ASSEMBLE VIDEO
Shrek Dragon Puppet Assembly Tutorial by Matthew McAvene. Notes: the Lip has been resculpted to look more realistic, the screw pole connections have been replaced with simple slide and pin connections. The interior is now painted black & all parts and connections are labelled. Paint details have been added on the skin and wings. She truly gets better with age!

AWARDS
"Our most recent award! Note: we don't typically rent internationally — this was a rare case where the client (Storybook Theatre) self-transported, picking up and returning Dragon at the nearest U.S. FedEx Freight Center near the border. Proud of this one — it took some creative problem-solving!"

Note From Matthew McAvene
“These are a few of the nice messages I've received via texts & emails from clients. I recently started to screenshot messages that are sent my way from clients like those above, but to be honest, I haven't been great about putting them in an album, & I know there are dozens more in my camera roll — so I'll add the Dragon-specific testimonials here as I find them. I don’t ask for testimonials, so what you see here is 100% genuine.”
“Some of the above testimonials are from our Little Shop, Frozen, Beetlejuice, or Shrek Dragon rentals — but to me, they're all one thing. My goal is to offer Broadway-quality puppets & props, excellent service, and accessible prices. The aim is to make your audience gasp when my work first appears in your production. Simply put, I care because I know your success determines mine.”
