    This is a wonderful tutorial. Had my class split up into teams of 3-4 and it took them about 1.5-2 hours to complete.

    I can’t believe this was posted 11 years ago! Video is still very fun and helpful today 👍

    Thank you so much for making this video! My son and I volunteer for a puppet guild and now my son needs to make a puppet for cub scouts. He loves marionettes too so this was the perfect tutorial we needed! You explained it very well and in simple terms that my 10 yr old could understand and be motivated! Thanks again!!!

    The tutorial is great, but I think the hips are missing in the man and that is what makes the shape a little strange, I think that the fact that the head is out of proportion doesn't matter that much.

    I never say I can't because I have found out that I can do whatever I want. It does take time and practice but you definitely can do it!

    The only thing I don't love about this video is that I found it right before I have to go to work so I gotta wait the whole day before I can go home and try this (and I WILL try this!)

    • @epicfantasy

      I truly love marionettes :) Maybe you will too!

    Saw a puppet master playing with a puppet named Stix. Now I fell in love with puppets and I really want to make my own set of puppets :)
    Thanks for this tutorial. :D

    Cool I now have something new to do. I can't wait to get started with my clay. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Cute for a kids project and basic enough that you can build on it to make a more detailed marionette. You can also add clear string attaching the feet to the hands to make them "walk." =)

    I have the most pretty Skull Kid w/ mask concept drawn. What was that beige clay in the video? It sounded like he said ceramic.

  • @epicfantasy
    @epicfantasy  12 років тому

    thats celluclay. Its kind of like a paper mache mix. You can use just about any hardening clay. But some are prone to dryng and cracking.

  • @blueyeen3747
    @blueyeen3747 6 років тому +5

    Can you use string instead of wire? I realise it won't be as strong in the long run and may break after a while, but the movement would be roughly the same, yeah?

    • @epicfantasy
      @epicfantasy  6 років тому +2

      Yes, you can. It will be ok.

    • @blueyeen3747

    • @epicfantasy

      Yes,, using two little metal hoops rather than one will keep the legs oriented in only one direction.
