Product Information

So far the Puppeteer sensors focus mainly on the bend of the joints of the human body, but we are interested in detecting other, subtler motions. A: You will need fabric, thread, scissors, pins, a sewing machine (optional), elastic, and any additional materials for decorations such as buttons, ribbon, or sequins.

With the majority of puppet based performances, whether on stage or television, the audience is almost always drawn to the central character being controlled. This suggests just how effective and real such puppets can seem. It is also the reason why the most important people, those behind the puppet, are forgotten. The principle behind the Puppeteer motion capture costume is to explore the use of fabrication methods that use very basic materials and tools and yet still produce useful solutions for motion capture. We have so far focused on capturing motion of the human body, but the techniques we have developed could also be applied to stuffed toys, animals and other objects. Creating a jaw-dropping marionette costume is all about utilizing the right elements that bring your character to life. Let’s take a closer look at the critical components that make this incredible costume possible.

Worst thing: "I really hate having to rely on funding. I guess having been brought up in a business family, I've always thought that if things are worth it and provide a good service, they should be sustainable. But when it comes to making artistic shows, the reality is that it's always a gamble. You need to have the space and the money to experiment and make mistakes." Overtime Finding arts funding in the UK is hardly straightforward, though Bona says it is just one aspect of making a production: "There's all the rigmarole of whether you should apply for funding, or try to do it on a hope and a prayer … it's quite a challenge. And rehearsing for long periods is also a big challenge, physically." In the 18th Century, puppet theatre became the most fashionable adult entertainment. Puppets on strings known as marionettes were the performing style of choice.

Large puppets are created by puppet makers to be worn by actors or performers. The War Horse stage show puppet has three performers to manipulate all the movements required. Then there is bunraku, "the style we all try and do now", the Japanese physical puppet form involving three people operating a figurine in harmony. "But none of us can really be properly trained because, in Japan, it takes 30 years to become a proper bunraku person," she explains. "Normally, the puppets are about a metre tall and made of wood, pretty heavy. So often there's one person doing one hand and governing the torso, one doing the feet and the other doing the other hand and head. The beauty of it is that you get super-realistic movement." Next, it’s all about the details. Consider incorporating intricate embroidery or sewing on various fabrics such as burlap or silk for your costume’s texture. This is where meticulous crafting comes in, and the more time and effort you put in here, the more spectacular the outcome.First, you’ll need to start with a solid foundation, the base of your creation. This includes a form-fitting bodysuit or jumpsuit that accentuates your shape and allows for movement. It also provides a blank canvas for your costume’s unique design. A: The time it takes to make the costume will depend on your sewing skills and the complexity of the design. However, most people can complete a simple marionette costume in a day or two, with more intricate designs taking longer to complete. Traditionally shadow puppets were made of leather, but cheaper materials like paper and wood are just as effective. The shadow puppets are controlled by long rods and moved behind a white translucent screen made of fabric or paper. In front of an audience, every aspect of a puppet’s movement is seen. It is the puppeteer’s responsibility to react and adapt their performance according to audience reaction. Such productions can make high demands on their controllers having to perform in cramped positions, strained spaces, below stage or even on stage as a ventriloquist.

Her resulting mini-production, Scaring Gran-ma, told the story of a cat's attempts to bump off its elderly owner "because he'd heard on the radio about another cat that had inherited a lot of money and therefore assumed his owner was also rich.

The Role of Puppet Makers To ensure good manoeuvrability, the materials need to be lightweight. The expressions and actions that the puppet needs to do are carefully planned.
