Awesome Paper CAT Puppet

[@Azerrz]

Your talent is insane man

[@jpettltd]

So is his hair

[@amyhaun]

🦷👣👄

[@keetyyyy]

yes

[@vivisectiondrag]

Sucks that he uses this talent to promote anti-lgbt torture (conversion therapy) for children.

[@filenotfound.975]

I don't do voices

[@mrredanimations2217]

He has gained the ability to say, “You want to catch these hands?” literally

[@Ramohland]

Seeing your puppets grow and evolve over the years is so fascinating! And such emotions conveyed through them as well. Amazing work as always!

[@vivisectiondrag]

hopefully his politics involving trans people evolves because he actively platforms people who support torturing trans kids until they aren't trans any more.

[@bittyb0t]

he is transphobic and supports conversion therapy.

[@Ash_Wynn]

800th like hehe

[@Otherworldlystudios-e3m]

Ikr

[@InactiveAcoountSpeltright]

Yeah.

[@VolosVibes]

Do you remember those wooden toy snakes? It's contruction and weight would make for a perfect cat tail. The current one works, but looks too static for a flexible cat.

[@mranonymous6517]

Oh hey my friend has one of those, it has pinched him multiple times.

[@user-N20]

@@mranonymous6517 yeah that was my first thought lol- we had two of them, and they were fun and made click-like sounds but boy did I get pinched quite a few times!

[@adnanabdillahghifari720]

The puppet legend is back again

[@Buho0101]

O yeah!!!

[@vivisectiondrag]

Just wish he would apologize for supporting the torture of LGBT children

[@MmmMulholland]

@@vivisectiondrag Again, he never did anything of the sort.

[@vivisectiondrag]

@@MmmMulholland again, he blatantly did.

[@thejadedjester4935]

@@vivisectiondrag what is this? Been a bit since I've checked his videos, could you break down what the incident was for someone out of the loop?

[@Dragondacrafter]

I love this thing! How do puppets suddenly become realistic robots for theatre preformances??? I have so many questions

[@helentee9863]

This is a more complex development of the puppetry that was first used for the National Theatre, London production of 'War Horse', by Michael Morpague, which l was privileged to see at the National before it transferred to the west end. If you Google 'War Horse' puppetry l think you should find information on the way stage puppetry was developed for that production and maybe since

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

It's insane how much life you bring to all your puppets, holy crap!

[@craigkdillon]

His puppets are more alive than many people I know.

[@bittyb0t]

too bad he’s transphobic and supports conversion therapy (literal torture of lgbt children)

[@craigkdillon]

@@bittyb0t I doubt that, since he is gay.

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

@@bittyb0t Wait, what? Where'd you get that info? /gen

[@bittyb0t]

@@imthecoolestguyalive it’s literally a video he uploaded barely 5 months ago, check his channel for ‘transitioning children’

[@charlotteleal3841]

I would watch a full length movie made with these paper puppets

[@VoltornElda]

I was indeed wondering if this year we'd see that Halloween-story type video (the previous 2 were amazing and highly intriguing to listen to), but after Halloween passed, I figured that you'd perhaps be too busy with this current paper putter project. Glad to hear that confirmation right now, but... please don't feel rushed to make one or something like that. Every day can become a spooky day, even in the middle of March. So do take your time, and enjoy. ^w^

[@toothlesslightfury1788]

And that heart you got from him is the heart you deserve

[@aarondewindt]

Or maybe we can get a christmas story, if you've got enough free time before then.

[@Juxeboxbun]

Oh god, he’s evolving, soon he’ll be playing god, making real animals Willy nilly. In all seriousness this is so cool, my brain doesn’t have the gusto to even attempt to comprehend how you guys managed this. It’s so wonderful, the movement is so smooth and lifelike and the little actions you can do add so much character to each puppet. I can feel my brain rolling around in my skull like a pea the more I try to comprehend the mechanics used here. Good lord! You’ve all done a fabulous jobs!

[@daspotz5134]

Love what is going on here but have some thoughts if you are interested (i work in prosthetics). Did you consider making interchangable finger "harnasses" for each actor that have a generic connection interface to the puppet? That way you could still have anyone play any puppet but would simplify your system (no parallel joints, etc. Needed any more). Also, having a spring loaded neutral position is a great idea, but only if the neutral position is the position that is most common/desirable position for the puppet to be in. If actors have to constantly work against the spring they might experience some fatigue. Great to see the progress, would love to fly to london and see this performed live at some point

[@CrisisghostOM]

Those hands look so creepy and cool in slowmo, love them! All the good vibes with your project, surely will be a blast seeing them in play

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Slow motion of creepy hands flopping around= A+! This is great, brother! Your creativity and technical know-how is off the charts. I'm so happy about the upcoming play and thrilled with the look of your paper/plastic puppets. Just wonderful.

[@NeighborhoodOfBlue]

*This* is how you get a cat lady's attention. This is the first of your videos I've ever seen, and I am enthralled!

[@KarolineHinz]

I can’t wait to see all this come to life!!!! Not too long now ♥️

[@kindlethekitsune]

I really love the wing concept, so smooth!! Can’t wait to see the finalized puppets!

[@aisharane]

Oh wow! all the thought and care that goes into the production is so incredible to see. Amazing work! Also something about the way the silicone fingers jiggle in slow-motion is truly captivating yet hilarious

[@allenkagami2438]

the amount of personality and movement this puppet ensues is really captivating

[@awahpahpow7735]

Adam savage is going to have a caniption when he sees these! What an incredible person you are Barnaby. Your ability to capture movement is astounding

[@elainestokes2787]

It would be great if Adam could do a “catching up with” video to show Barnaby’s growth and progress since their last interview.

[@vivisectiondrag]

@@elainestokes2787 I wonder if Adam would ask Barnaby why he supports conversion therapy for LGBT people?

[@MmmMulholland]

@@vivisectiondrag You’ve repeated this lie quite a few times now.

[@elainestokes2787]

@@vivisectiondrag are you talking about the trans activists who’ve insisted that lesbians need to “re-examine their genital preference“? I don’t think he supports that conversion therapy.

[@vivisectiondrag]

@@MmmMulholland it's literally not a lie though, you just also think conversion therapy for trans people is good.

[@AlyssaFoxa]

Your epicness is enough to make your own store and sell puppets you made for thousands

[@archierm]

These are incredible, so lifelike. I'm really curious how you're going to put them together on the stage. In my head, they're going to look like shadow theatre but in 3D. I hope the puppeteers won't catch too much attention, or that they suspend audiences' disbelief enough. Good luck.

[@mrcreeper5686]

I remember watching you 3 years ago. Your amazing!

[@randommoth4978]

Yeah!

[@michaelbushee3968]

On the one hand (heh), what beautiful articulated puppet designs with some amazingly creative engineering solutions. On the other, F L O P P Y H A N D S.

[@delsings]

The stuff you do with puppetry is truly revolutionary!

[@craigkdillon]

You should get a degree in Applied Engineering for the work you do. So creative - unbounded by precedent. I miss dabchick.

[@YourAverageZiggurab3798]

And the rapter

[@EmmieFloding]

book of dust!! man it's so awesome to see you involved in something so cool and fits your puppetry so well

[@sealguy2704]

Guy went from making great puppets (including my favorite bird) in his shed and bedroom out of wood by himself. Now making these amazing puppets with an extremely talented team. Great Job!

[@joshvanteqaurtilliaslameat5981]

This reminds me of Barnaby Dixon I loved watching him as a kid and I still do

[@CreativeSteve69]

I've been watching you practicly since your channel got recommended to me near your starting point off by one year. It's been amazing to see you and your puppetry skills grow and evolve overtime throughout the years barnaby. Keep up the amazing work watching this is making me want to get back into puppetry again after taking a year off break now. :

[@AnkhAnanku]

Seven years ago this guy was playing in the park with dabchick. Now he’s got a team and they’re all making awesome puppets.

[@AEmeraldEntity]

This is absolutely amazing - it manages to both seem lifelike as well as being stylised

[@PhillipTheBrandon]

I saw a promo for this show, and thought the puppets looked phenomenal. I should have known it was your work! What a glow-up.

[@Valsbook8091]

This looks fantastic

[@tylerblack3962]

Its amazing seeing how the puppets movements are so natural, ESPECIALLY the bird puppet in flight. That’s incredible, i love how all of the puppets follow the rules of animation too, so you really get the feeling of them coming to life

[@BioshadowX]

So excited for this! I know I won't be able to see the show but love the series and in awe of the innovation of puppetry

[@butwhytho4858]

My son’s a lil’ “different”. He thinks so far left from everyone else. I watch ur channel with him to show how AMAZING and creative he can be if he follows his passions. Too often kids learn to assimilate in school so they don’t get picked on. It’s the quickest way children lose their imagination and talents. I hope channels like this help him hold on to his own uniqueness. Thank for ur uploads. We love em so much!

[@DeadFishTheKing]

If you're molding plastic or foam around a cast, plaster is a really good way to go. Alginate works well for capturing details, or plaster bandages work well too for cheap. Silicone is too flexible to get a good form

[@strekozza5812]

Абажаю всякую механику! Вы супер! Ваши изделия, или точнее творения, как живые!

[@barbarawallace6890]

Watching the evolution of your creations and skills over the years has been an amazing ride! Hopefully, for those of us on the wrong side of the pond, there will be some way that we can watch the whole production eventually. And those silicon hands-the bouncing and wiggling is hysterical,but kind of creepy at the same time; makes me wonder what you might be able to do with them, video-wise.

[@KIKURAsky]

It's so good the movements are so smooth

[@Fragglerocker93]

I was in Atlanta a month ago and got to see your puppets from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance at the Center of Puppetry Arts. It’s incredible how far you have come in your craft 🙂 I hope to see your puppets in person some day.

[@local.creature.lmao0.-0]

this is so cool!! If I had engineering and skills I would definitely want to make one myself!!🙂

Why has Timothee Chamolet replaced Barnaby Dixon.

[@drillerdev4624]

It's great to see not just the behind the scenes stuff, but the actual evolution of the design themselves. Fastforward puppetry arms race.

These are unreal, particularly the attention of detail, especially designing mechanisms for everyone involved. Being a huge fan of Pullman’s work I’m hoping to see this as one of those ‘slime tutorials’ done for musicals since I can’t possibly afford paying for a streaming version, sad to say.

[@christopherkarlsson4919]

Makes me wish I could go and see the final production, its going to be a hit, congratulations on your project developing so well

Looking better and better! Hope I get a chance to see the show one way or another! Also, watching those hands fly is strangely satisfying.

So I've been dying to see this for months now, and I went!!!! It was pure magic being able to go to see this play in its finished form after seeing all the hard work that has gone into it! I have also read the Book of Dust myself, and the the way you have physicalised them is amazing.
