I'm a puppeteer and what a beautiful controller you made I love the elegant movement you achieve with the hand bar. I too build the puppet and first and then discover through performance who they are and what they want to say. Thank you for sharing!

You are brilliant! I'm finally get to make a proper puppet for a show that I'm producing with friends and I'm so excited about these videos, it's made me think so much about them.

Anyone know where one can one buy a whole bunch of bodies and props for marionettes? (I need arms, legs & bodies (+ swords & armour).

@icelandknight Your supposed to build them yourself... 0_0

[icelandknight]

All I can say is good luck making a whole ARMY, if you have to make every limb yourself! I did eventually find a place online selling parts, but WAY too expensive, and ended up buying a jigsaw, in the hope of speeding things up, but still need a better prototype for proper joint design. some in plastecine, to determine movement, but not happy with it. I will probably end up with Shadow Puppets, they are relatively easy to mass produce (using cardboard stencils). This is for a video project.
