==Early career== [[File:Filmmuseet Oslo.jpg|thumb|Original dolls used in Ivo Caprino's films which are exhibited in the Norwegian Film Museum in Oslo.]] In the mid-1940s, Caprino helped his mother design puppets for a puppet theatre, which inspired him to try making a film using his mother's designs. Ivo used the surplus puppets as inspiration for his first animated film, ''Tim and Tøffe'' (1948), the result of their collaboration. The eight minute film, however, was not released until 1949. Several other films followed, including two 15-minute shorts that are still shown regularly in Norway, ''Veslefrikk med Fela'' (''Little Freddy and his Fiddle''), based on a Norwegian folk tale; and ''Karius og Baktus'', a story by [[Thorbjørn Egner]] of two little trolls—representing [[Dental caries|caries]] and [[Bacteria|bacterium]]—living in a boy's teeth. Gude made the puppets for these films as well.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}} ===Work with Ingse Caprino=== Following the success of ''Tim og Tøffe'', Gude was involved in all of her son's films until 1963. Gude made some puppets for a production by [[Frithjof Tidemand-Johannessen]]. Caprino had set up a film studio in the manor house, and Gude started working full-time on new puppets, which often had luscious proportions. The film, ''Veslefrikk med Fela'', was awarded the best children's film at the [[13th Venice International Film Festival]] in 1952. The commissioned production, ''Den standhaftige tinnsoldat'' (''The Steadfast Tin Soldier''), won several international awards.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}} Gude filled the role of [[cinematographer]] on the last film collaboration with her son. The puppet's voice role being played by [[Liv Dommersnes|Liv Strømsted]]. Gude died 9 December 1963 at Snarøya. The production of puppets was afterwards taken over by her granddaughter Ivonne Caprino.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
