Abstract
Certain embodiments involve automatically generating a layered animatable puppet using a content stream. For example, a system identifies various frames of a content stream that includes a character performing various gestures usable for generating a layered puppet. The system separates the various frames of the content stream into various individual layers. The system extracts a face of the character from the various individual layers and creates the layered puppet by combining the individual layers and using the face of the character. The system can output the layered puppet for animation to perform a gesture of the various gestures.
