Make: Believe Visits Images In Motion
Kamela Portuges and Lee Armstrong have been making puppets and performing together for over 25 years.

Since then, they’ve been steadily producing TV shows, commercials, and live performances, as well as lending their expertise to major studios and toy companies. Video and slideshow after the jump.
