We are proud to announce that we puppeteered a 4 year multi-media ad campaign for "Tobacco Free Florida" and "The Facts Now." The ads which featured 3 of our characters were shown on tv, the web, featured at events, in print and bill boards and shown in movie theaters.
This ad utilized totally hard figures. "Pops" was the main head tobacco executive, TJ was his employee and Sandy was his son.
An entire website was created just for Pops.

We are so excited to Welcome "Lois" to the collection family. Lois was performed by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Taub |
| "There are a few shining people put on this earth that simply must have a film made about them. These people don't include celebrities, authority figures, or anyone else who has had greatness thrust upon him/her. They are people who have quietly achieved a greatness all their own, people for whom carpe diem is not a trite motivational phrase. Such a person is Stan Taub. One may look at him as the good-natured reconstructive surgeon, sculptor, inventor, ventriloquist, and filmmaker from the Bronx, but he would tell you that that's only what he does for work. Stan Taub is a man it would be a privilege to know; then again, it's impossible to ignore a man who naturally grabs the spotlight through the sheer force of his sunny personality. " - 79 Parts |
