The Puppets are created by McKinnon and Saunders.
At least two people operate each puppet at any time.. this means that when 3 puppets are walking down a corridor together, there will be 6 people walking underneath the set.
TV screens under the set to show the puppeteers what they're doing. They do everything backwards so that they can see things the same way everyone else does.
Puppets bodies are made of wood usually. Clothes are machine sown and have lots of detail.
Tracking dots under the mouths so that when the characters need to talk they remove the mouth and animators later put the mouths on in software later and lipsync it to the words using the tracking dot information to keep them in the right place.
They shoot the scenes very carefully to the story board.
Strange Hill High is classed as an animation even though it's not technically animated.
