  • 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.

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

  • @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!
