Cow puppet build update

So we're so close to finishing her. The neck mechanism and revolving hips are working a treat. Hope to tie all the loose ends in the coming week.

Cow puppet build

So we've got a few weeks gap before our next project kicks off at the National, 'Elephantom'. To fill it we'll be making a cow puppet and a extra large giant head/face puppet. Lots to do in a short amount of time, same old story! Here's some pics so far

The light Princess- National Theatre, London

Can't quite believe how fast the last few months have flown by. With only a day away now til the first preview at the National, still plenty of small jobs to finish off on some truly fantastic puppets. I've had a great time working alongside some great characters and talented chaps. Puppet designs by Toby Olie, who is a true gent and Max Humphries, fantastic mechanical genius. 

I look forward to sharing the fun along the way at some point.

At he beginning of the year we agreed to a completely mental job, to make three bunraku puppets in 2 weeks! I won't lie, it was really hard work but we enjoyed it.
