Mechanical Puppetry Lesson 6: Cables and Controls

Learn to make your own mechanical puppets just like the Jim Henson company. These are the same techniques and design philosophy that master puppet makers have employed for decades and still use today.
In this lesson we will go over different ways to build cable control units use to activate different parts of your mechanical puppet.
As a designer myself i have come across a number of amazing resources that have helped me learn and grow my skill sets. I hope you'll find this series as helpful as i have. This will also give me a break from videos since my equipment was stolen recently.

Thank you so much for making this series, it's still by far the best instructional videos on puppet building & mechanics! I am currently building my first mechanized puppet. So again, thank you.

Does anyone know the name of this series? I really would like to track down a complete set. Also for those interested, the only video series I’ve found that’s similar to this is through Stan Winston School of Character Arts.
