Haha, thanks! Feel free to spread the word and share the video. I'm planning on doing some more soon. Is there anything specific you're looking to see?
Alex & Olmsted oh, you know, the usual little tricks with bell cranks and linkages. I bet you have a ton of them. And of course a new level of AI intelligence.
The rooster singig made me smile. So charming. Thanks for the book reference. I feel bad that I left such a critical review on a similar vid. Had I watched this first, I would have undertood that video better. Am working on my first puppet, and basically guessing at the placement of the mechanisms. Will look for the book. Thanks.
Thanks so much! I made the rods from 14 gauge galvanized wire. You can buy it in rolls from most hardware stores. We have a tutorial on wire straightening here: ua-cam.com/video/auT89Om7Bxw/v-deo.html After straightening the wire it's just a matter of making a few 90 degree bends with a pair of pliers. Hope that makes it more clear! If there's interest, maybe we'll make a video describing the process in the future.
I was watching you're videos because I thought you're work was brilliant! But you just help me with my work... I don't know yet how will I make the legs of my shadow puppet move, but one of the "mechanism" or "levers" (I don't know how it's named in English) used in the rooster will help me a lot 🥰 thank you guys!
@@AlexAndOlmsted Hi! No... I didn't post any video yet. I'm finishing my first two shows, and when I finish I'll start to post some things here and on Instagram. I'm not very adept at social networks, but I see that it's important, both for us as artists, as for sharing knowledge ... so as soon as I finish, I'll start to move my Instagram and make a channel here on UA-cam 😊 when I post I'll be back to warn you 😊

@@AlexAndOlmsted planer mechanism (linkage synthensis),then some advancedd space mechanism,for example,one machine have a movement need,then how to design,the process of design cofusing me a lot
@@AlexAndOlmsted i have watched many universities lessons about theory of machines,and learn some software ,such as solidworks,linkage ,and reading many books ,but i still don,t konw how to design mechanisms
@@郭东-y3z I've noticed a lot of university lessons are about the abstract concept of machines. It's way more fun to have a practical example! Is there a specific mechanism you're interested in?
@@AlexAndOlmsted yes，that cause student feel leaning nothing at all,i want a design a mechanism,a coal smoother,scraper that can jump the train carriages,usually scarper is smooth the coal,when it collision to the carriage,it can jump over the carriages.this machine have a good market in coal mines.
Ok, thanks, this is great. How does these videos not have a thousand views? They're most helpful, please do more.

Delightful. I love your practical construction.
Thank you!
this video is absolutely amazing
Thanks! It was a lot of fun to make :D
THIS WAS PERFECTION!!!!!!
im trying to make a vulture puppet right now and this is massively helpful. I want it to be able to open its beak.
Sounds like a fun project! If you post any photos or video online please tag us so we can be sure to see them.
Thank you so much! This is great!
Thank you! Hope it helps!
This is brilliant! Did you make the control rods or buy them? Is there a tutorial? These look much better than bamboo skewers!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Letícia! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Do you post any of your puppetry online? We'd love to see it!

amazing,can you teach how to design mechanisms ?thanks
Thank you! What sort of mechanisms are you interested in learning?
