WingsEtcHammeredBirdT30

This is one in a series of seven chicken puppet commercials my friend Dave Ponce and I shot for Wings, Etc., (A Sports Bar franchise HQd out of South Bend, IN. --Nice guys, good bar food, btw)

I made the puppets, co-wrote the script, and am the one performing both chickens at the same time (Except for the tag at the end which was shot in two separate video pieces and composited together in post production.)

The puppets themselves are constructed of foam, then covered with fleece and and other sundry materials readily available at most fabric stores. My lovely wife Carrie sat in the living room and HAND-SEWED all the stitching on the puppets. (Her work is amazing).

All seven spots were shot in a makeshift TV studio in my friend Daves living room.

FUN BITS:
The beer in the mugs is jello to keep it from moving while I perform, which we discovered was a problem on the very first day of shooting.

Its work Im proud of and hope to do more of.
