Laura Mathews Puppet Festival Video

[@a-bird-lover]

wow, the flight movement on the phoenix is just gorgeous! A lot of people make the mistake of the wings doing simple up and down motions, and those feathers are just gorgeously crafted

[@KIKURAsky]

i love these!

[@roundhouse2616]

Yes I know!!! I hate it when people turn wings into some kind of rigid flaps in artistic representations. They're much more like arms!!

[@flutterbree]

I'll be honest, if non avian dinosaurs managed to survive and coexist with us today, velociraptor world absolutely be fighting raccoons for trash bin rights. 😂

[@nmheath03]

Dinosaur Sanctuary has a velociraptor fight a raccoon for a koi

[@macklinillustration]

"Honey, the damn velociraptors knocked over the food bin again!"

[@STAGISTODAY]

microraptors are pest control

[@bergmannisabell]

[@AdmiralWinfrey]

This guy gets it. We'd probably be eating farmed ones for Thanksgiving. And now I'm imagining little pain in the ass dinos running underfoot at the Continental Congress.

[@Bob-Cat-hc1hg]

The detail and effort clearly put in to the puppets is just unbelievable, the way every aspect about them makes them look so life like. It is incredible.

[@mar-k7104]

Forget cgi, I want THIS for the next dinosaur documentary!

[@mepthearsonist]

The power of puppeteering a life sized Triceratops puppet

[@timetobenotdo]

Amazing. Nice work! Technical tip: no sound is a disservice. Doesn’t need music or narration but just some ambient room tone, natural outdoor sound, even low level. No sound actually detracts/distracts.

[@farelimm]

I found myself really wanting to hear the sounds the puppets make

[@SpiderQueen00]

If there was music/soundtrack to it, it is possible that KZbin muted it due to a supposed copyright claim, or there was an issue uploading, which stripped the audio.

[@Dinoslay]

That Velociraptor walking looks so lifelike! Astounding craftsmanship. 👏

[@WhippoorWispWillow]

Ok, but the puppeteering for the sparrow though!! The shifting of the wings, the way the wings themselves moved? So cool! And the phoenix made me think of Faux from HP!!

[@strawby]

Despite being fantastical, the movements are so lifelike! You can really feel all the time that went into these puppets

[@TheKingOfCryptids]

Honestly, I think a real velociraptor would move exactly the way like the puppet in this video, congratulations on the work, all the puppets are very beautiful!

[@fantasybaystore]

The way the phoenix grabbed onto the branch… 😍 these are amazing. I justvwish there was a bit of ambient noise

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790]

"I'm telling you, he's a puppet!" "Stop it! Puppets can't move like that!"

[@AmmoniteDragon]

Amazing! Also somehow it makes perfect sense to have a velociraptor scouring the trash bins of our modern landscape

[@chickenanon]

Just to be clear: these are insane!!! Holy crap!!!!

[@aberrantartist]

They way you craft wings and flight alongside the subtle movements makes everything feel so alive. Absolutely incredible

[@TowlieIsSilly]

You have no clue how excited I got when I saw the word 'puppets'.

[@Fluffy_Essa_Nugget]

1:35 wow. You can really like feel the weight of the raptor. It has a lot of life to it, and it’s dewclaw is amazing

[@interruptingPreempt]

Those marionettes are gorgeous! The puppetry is really great, too!

[@funnysillyclown]

These are all marvelous feats of engineering and beauty, but something about the pure simplicity of the little sparrow is especially captivating. It really lets you appreciate it for what it is: a puppet. The use of different material in order to create the desired movement being on full display is awesome. Bird puppets are like, the single best thing in the world to me. So glad this was in my recommended. Also: the legs and talons on the Pheonix have me awestruck. They simulate the landing amazingly. I liked how all the feet were weighted for movement, but the pheonix especially. WOW!

[@Quest4Tube]

The feet grabbing the branch was very cool.

[@strizhi6717]

LOL for a sec I thought my sound got cut off... in any case some things visually without sound is even more captivating. This is genius level of work!! Absolute masterpieces

[@graciliraptor3990]

The blue on the wings really give it a fire feel

[@Soaring_Penguin]

This is brilliant! I love them all!

[@damaracarpenter8316]

Wow! These are so incredible. I want a whole film featuring them!

[@_koraki]

The flight is so beautifully articulated, it’s very impressive that it manages to capture the weight and mechanics of flight

[@joybreeden366]

Laura Matthew's is an amazing artist. Bravo Bravo Bravo!!! Marvelous

[@OtachiKaiju68]

These puppets are nicely done! I love how you went with the more accurate Velociraptor instead of the JP styled ones that we see every media nowadays

[@brrrrr9945]

wow!! the little sparrow was definitly my favorite those moves!

[@Whyamiawakeat3am]

Wow, just wow. I’m speechless over these masterpieces. The entire time I was watching this I was forgetting that these are *puppets* and not animatronics or something. Puppets, made with absolute precision and care, being used by real humans. The movement of them is so lifelike I kinda forgot they were fake 😅 And the feathers of the birds and the velociraptor are just… ✨magnificent✨

[@ashleya3236]

This is awe-inspiring! If the puppet festival collaborated with foley artists I'm sure it would be absolutely breathtaking.

[@Cleosz]

I would *100%* watch a show like this. It remembers me of "the dark crystal: age of resistance", one of my favorite series, unfortunately cancelled by netflix :( your work is insanely INCREDIBLE!

[@drpencilify]

You can really see the love and care that was put into each of these

[@eniddipini5658]

I LOVE THE PHOENIX!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Lastname_the_First]

The attention to movement on these was captivating--so many little details that I notice in my own (live, pet) bird painstakingly replicated by the artist! The preening of the feathers and the way the wings are put together, the peculiar and adorable way that birds hop on the ground, and especially the little wing starts when they are standing and move their head suddenly--like they're about to take off again but don't. The flight differences between them were also so cool; the dragon's more upright posture when flying and hovering causing it to bob a bit as its wings cup the air, vs the birds' gliding... Magnificent!

[@Lisargarza]

Faith in humanity restored. Thank you, puppeteers!

[@Herbstl4ub0001]

Sehr beeindruckende und realistische Bewegungen, zu welchen diese Marionetten fähig sind!

[@MF99K]

these are some of the most intricate puppets I've ever seen

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

I love the way the talons move 🤩 … well, everything about them really!

[@alleythetoaster8401]

I'm huge fan of feathered raptors. Loved that puppet so much.

[@AnonimusQualquer]

Wow, those are the most beautiful puppets I have ever seen. Not that I have a vast knowledge about puppets, I simply didn’t know they could be this complex and detailed

[@transformtransmitt]

Love this creative approach to puppet making. The craftsmanship is beautiful!

[@jennifermcalchemy9816]

Da Vinci would be proud. Absolutely amazing artistry. Bra👏🏼vo👏🏼

[@caileyrookids]

These are absolutely _amazing_ , words cannot express their beauty, let alone my awe at the skill required to puppeteer them

[@Dustinlove102]

They're all too good to pick a favorite!! ✨🤩✨

[@weftwarp1537]

Out-friggin-standing!!❤❤❤

[@AmberFelber-ix4zd]

Beautiful. I love puppets. I have all my life . Since I saw a puppet show at a birthday party, then I started by making puppets with spoons and popsicle sticks and others junk so I could entertain and make my baby brother laugh. Then I was a babysitter. And then a mother . Bought my daughter's first puppet at our towns river days. It was the goofy , colorful feather bird. I also turned into a clown . I have a nose. I blow bubbles,I can draw ,and I make balloon animals. I love to make people laugh. Especially if they start out angry or sad . That's what I was made for to channel light and truth and healing. I am old now , though I am getting ready to take a different journey. So glad to see the new wonderous creative stars. They are the ones to lead people to the New Demention of light and truth. And ☀️🌻🦋

[@saddlerrye6725]

Wow. Just, wow. These puppets are incredible, I can't imagine the time and effort that went into crafting them in such great detail.

[@JayTheSlugcat]

I have never seen a puppet so amazing and so flipping pretty!!!❤😊❤❤

[@macklinillustration]

Omg, they're all amazing and adorable. I actually gasped when the phoenix landed and gripped the pole. It was so interesting see the little sparrow, the bare components of it were fascinating. The expansion stitches on the wings to hold the flight feathers together in formation, so clever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creature creations

[@zombieloveserte]

Seriously gorgeous!!!! They are all exquisite but, the dragon was my favorite especially in flight! The work that went into these is so impressive.

[@catfeatherss]

That is so incredibly beautiful. What amazing artistic and technical skill! ❤

[@Kayla-Nicholson]

Not me just wanting all those puppets so bad!!! I want the phoenix the most lol!

[@Obizenaiaa]

[@stetsoneleven4229]

These are some of the coolest puppets I think I've ever seen! I love the natural way the wings fold and open for flight so freaking much!
