We offer production design, props, puppets, and practical effects for film, TV, and music videos.

Dylan Gibson is a trusted production designer known for building cinematic worlds on tight timelines and smart budgets. He’s led art departments across music videos and feature films, blending conceptual depth with a hands-on approach to set building, prop integration, and visual storytelling.

Whether it’s a period interior, a sci-fi cockpit, or a whimsical environment, Dylan can design and fabricate custom props and sets tailored to the story, aesthetic, and production needs. His background in mechanical tinkering and creative problem-solving ensures both durability and visual appeal.

Capabilities Include:

• Budget-conscious material sourcing
• Modular and transportable builds
• Art direction support & on-set supervision

Donutstar Workshop puppets are crafted with emotion, personality, and performance in mind. Dylan designs, sculpts, builds, and performs with his puppets — bridging nostalgia and innovation. He’s building a next-gen Northern Ontario puppetry practice reminiscent of a grassroots Creature Shop.

Featured Work:

• Lighthouse (2023) – Puppet Ed makes his debut
• Swan Song (2022) – Feature film puppet ensemble
• Dans L’Espace (2025) – Upcoming Space-faring puppet sequel

Donutstar Workshop offers custom-built non-firing prop guns and weapon replicas for use in film, television, music videos, and theatrical productions. These are entirely non-functional and designed purely for visual authenticity — whether you need period-accurate replicas, stylized sci-fi weapons, or custom conceptual pieces.

Please note: Dylan Gibson is not an armorer and does not provide real or functional firearms. All prop weapons are for visual use only and follow standard industry safety practices.
