In this clip, we're going to talk about puppet logistics. By that, I mean things like hands.
This puppet works really well because he's got a head control where you're not really
going to see my hand very much. Whereas the is puppet, who is a doll, is much harder to
work. If I want to move her hand, my big fat puppeteer hands get in the way. If I want
to hold her like this and have really good control, the audience sees nothing but my
hand. When you're working with your puppets, you want to be very careful about where your
hands are and logistics of that. Also, the puppeteer body. In this instance, I'm behind
a table, which is very easy, but sometimes I might be with my puppet and I need to be
careful not to get in front of the puppet but to stay behind it.
