  • We meet Darren Moser, a Star Wars costume and prop builder who's been working on a life-size K-2SO from Rogue One. His version of the droid is meant to be puppeted, and Darren demonstrates the joint and linkage systems he's using to bring this character to life.
    Find more of Darren's projects at drscifi.com/ and follow along his K-2SO build at www.therpf.com/showthread.php?...

    That is very cool. Once your torso is finished, from the front the puppeteer will be nearly invisible. Well done.

    My first thought when Darren said that K-2SO's feet were attached to his feet was "that has to be like walking around in some long swim flippers..." fast forward to the part of the video with Darren and K-2SO walking around, and BAM! ACTUAL swim flippers. I love it.

    Really cool, I think the only thing missing is head movement, to give the puppet a bit more life. Besides head movement is key in K2SO comic timing.

    If this dude has a year or two before the next convention he may want to look into automating the legs so he can mimic K2SO's loping walk.

    • @xj53pq7
      @xj53pq7 7 лет назад

      Elemental_Phoenix legs sound hard.

    • @Elemental-Phoenix
      @Elemental-Phoenix 7 лет назад

      Maybe, but most of the weight should be supported by the puppeteer's body and then it's just a simple matter of automating the legs correctly.

    Tested is always great to watch. Is it just me, or does it always sound like Norm always has to get a word in whenever he's interviewing someone?
