      This is a more complex development of the puppetry that was first used for the National Theatre, London production of 'War Horse', by Michael Morpague, which l was privileged to see at the National before it transferred to the west end.
      If you Google 'War Horse' puppetry l think you should find information on the way stage puppetry was developed for that production and maybe since

    I was indeed wondering if this year we'd see that Halloween-story type video (the previous 2 were amazing and highly intriguing to listen to), but after Halloween passed, I figured that you'd perhaps be too busy with this current paper putter project. Glad to hear that confirmation right now, but... please don't feel rushed to make one or something like that. Every day can become a spooky day, even in the middle of March. So do take your time, and enjoy. ^w^

It’s so wonderful, the movement is so smooth and lifelike and the little actions you can do add so much character to each puppet. I can feel my brain rolling around in my skull like a pea the more I try to comprehend the mechanics used here. Good lord! You’ve all done a fabulous jobs!

  • @daspotz5134
    @daspotz5134 2 роки тому +229

    Love what is going on here but have some thoughts if you are interested (i work in prosthetics). Did you consider making interchangable finger "harnasses" for each actor that have a generic connection interface to the puppet? That way you could still have anyone play any puppet but would simplify your system (no parallel joints, etc. Needed any more). Also, having a spring loaded neutral position is a great idea, but only if the neutral position is the position that is most common/desirable position for the puppet to be in. If actors have to constantly work against the spring they might experience some fatigue.
    Great to see the progress, would love to fly to london and see this performed live at some point

    Holy crap. This is just... beyond impressive. To be able to breathe so much life into something as simple as paper, man, you're so imaginative and talented. I am now emotionally attached to this cat now, they are my emotional support paper friend

    Its amazing seeing how the puppets movements are so natural, ESPECIALLY the bird puppet in flight. That’s incredible, i love how all of the puppets follow the rules of animation too, so you really get the feeling of them coming to life
