PuppetTool is an experimental animation tool that allows users to generate highly expressive movements unhindered by limits of gravity or elasticity. The animations created are not linear but rather cyclic and generative. Users can achieve personalized results ranging from the nearly realistic to the absurd and fantastic and then add their creations to an online database of user-generated creations. The interactive zoo, a series of our own six short interactive films produced with PuppetTool, offers a rich narrative experience through a new, non-linear kind of storytelling that remains totally interactive at every moment.
