A puppet designer already meets 77% of what the performance video designer role asks for. The move turns on 4 required skills not yet in the profile.
77%
31.8/ 100
1 Share of the performance video designer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the puppet designer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A performance video designer role treats 23 of its required skills as things a puppet designer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt existing designs to changed circumstances
- adapt to artists' creative demands
- analyse a script
- analyse music score
- analyse the artistic concept based on stage actions
- analyse the scenography
What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 37 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A performance video designer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a puppet designer background worth leading with.
- already held research new ideas information skills
- already held verify feasibility information skills
- already held analyse the artistic concept based on stage actions information skills
- already held propose improvements to artistic production communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held analyse the scenography communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held develop design ideas cooperatively communication, collaboration and creativity
All 37 carried skills, including the 23 the performance video designer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a performance video designer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 edit digital moving images skill · sector specific
- 02 tune a projector skill · sector specific
- 03 assess power needs skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
