Hi, I am making a shadow puppet film for my french class, and I was wondering how you were able to make the boat tip as if it were on water? My story is going to be the grimm version of the Little Mermaid, so that's a little important. :)
You simply need to attach a control stick to the back of the boat so that it sticks straight out towards you and away from your screen. Attach a handle to the end of the stick and simply twist the handle left and right to create the rocking motion. Make sure that everything is well attached and braced so that it is solid.
Hi there. Unfortunately, we don't have a website. Building the puppets can basically be described as a lot of paper cutting, followed by a certain amount of experimentation (involving some string, some wire and a hot glue gun). We aslo laminated these particular puppets so that we could accomplish the fine detail without making the puppets too fragile.
