  • How many pieces should your articulated shadow puppet be?
    Ah, a question as old as time. In this video we look at several different options.

    Thanks. I have been looking for something like this for days. How to put together a flat puppet that is articulated. Trying to figure out how to do this with while recording from the front. Meaning the puppet would not be a shadow puppet but like having articulated paper puppets and having the audience seeing the puppets moving from the front... I will check out your other videos.

    This is amazing. I have recently started creating these myself, and just heard about Bradshaw. I'm hoping to get his book from the press company. However, until then, could you possibly make a video showing a close up of how you managed to fit the four bar system in such a small space? My channel has my starting attempt at the medium, if you're curious curious check it out. Thanks for making these videos! I've been trying to figure it all out on my own, and it looks like vlad the impaler's arts n crafts time lol. I'm using bamboo skewers instead of tacks for my joints, as well as hot gluing the skewers as control rod

    Super interesting video. I can always appreciate art forms that I know nothing about and then all of a sudden I find my interest getting pulled into it.

      Yes! A really fun art rabbit hole to fall down is scale model diarama building for model railroads.

    3:02 the thing you are holding in your hand that you are using to move the parts of the puppet--what is that made out of? Did you make it yourself?

    • @AlexAndOlmsted
      @AlexAndOlmsted  Месяц назад +1

      That's just a short length of galvanized wire that we straightened and then bent the end 90 degrees. It's really great for rotating a piece, instead of just moving it up/down or left/right.

      @@AlexAndOlmsted Thanks! I don't have galvanized wire on me, but I do have some floral wire--have you had success using floral wire for control rods? I saw in a different video you use them for coiled joints which I might try out, too.

    • @AlexAndOlmsted
      @AlexAndOlmsted  Месяц назад +1

      @@MochaHEllamcKaine I wouldn't try floral wire for control rods unless the puppet were very small and lightweight. You might have luck if you have some thicker gauge floral wire and twist several strands together, but I'd really recommend just getting a roll of galvanized wire from the hardware store. It's inexpensive and will last you years, likely.

    Do you know the technique how the shadow puppet opens the mouth and at the same time it shakes his arm ???If yes can you do that in a video

    • @AlexAndOlmsted
      @AlexAndOlmsted  3 года назад

      I would probably design it in the same way I linked the arm and head movement @5:22 , but instead of the whole head moving it would just be the lower jaw. Does that make sense?
