Process: Marionettes With Geahk Burchill

[McCracken257]

wow this is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this video!

[mischiefmaricookies]

I thought this was one of the most compelling of all of the Etsy videos I've seen so far. Geahk isn't just a master puppet-maker; he's an incredible storyteller. I'm curious: what kind of camera was used to shoot this? The images are beautiful.

Thank you @mischiefmaricookies

To answer your question, this video was shot using a Canon 5D, with Carl Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 & 100mm f/2 lenses.

[brepettis]

Great video. You really captured the experience of puppet making.

[bustedpuppet]

This is the best puppetry video I've seen on youtube yet - beautiful work, Ghaek, I can't wait to see this in person!

One of my favorite memories of my childhood has always been going to see Fairy Tale Marionette Theatre at the mall in my home town. It absolutely enthralled me!!

Lovely figures, beautiful! Thanks Etsy, for always keeping it inspiring!

[wanditawandita37]

wow that was super impressive thanks for sharing such a beautiful art

[ffagffah]

This was great! I'm so glad that Etsy is featuring artists that are out there actually BEING artists, being involved in groups and shows and events, and having actual opinions and visions about their work. The handmade is so much more pervasive and important than people just selling things for the sake of having others buy them.

ah, reminds me of being john malckovich. i love it! 

[thehouseoflotus]

wow! amazing work!

[MorticaLestrage]

wow, thats awesome. He is brillant, its such an amazing thing that he makes all thouse by hand.

[emilykbisignano]

Awesome! It's very interesting to learn a little about the history of puppets. You certainly don't see beautifully hand-crafted and designed like his marionettes. I'd love to see the plays but I live in Ohio! :p

[kumquatsta]

i always amazed by the production quality of these videos. does etsy get involved or is it purely the artisan's work?

[etsy]

@kumquatsta

Thanks for noticing! Etsy does indeed produce these videos. We try to find great stories about great artists and share them with all of you. I (Eric) produced this video about Geahk, but the workmanship, the designs, the locations, the stories, are all 100% his. Stay tuned –a new video every Tuesday!
