George Harrison Marionette "Behind the Strings"

A peek 'Behind the Scenes' showing how this lifesized, handmade 'Harrisonette' creation is brought to life.

This shows the two control bars that are used to operate 'George' and create his various animated movements. Here he plays ' The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea' on his favourite banjolele while the puppeteer above manipulates the various strings in time to the music. It takes 15 strings total to keep 'George' under control...

....quite a handful he is!

Many thanks for your heartfelt comments. It means a lot to me William to hear you say this.

I have plans to film one or two more videos in the coming months. Keep a lookout for them!

Okay, 15 strings to control him?! Holy crap I hope none of the strings get tangled when you guys aren't making videos! This is pretty cool! :D
