Operating a marionette: walking

This video is made to accompany the book 'Carve a marionette: A step by step guide' by John Roberts.

My marionettes have a more natural walk, by stringing the foot through the knee and then to the leg bar the foot doesn't droop down so you don't need an over exaggerated walk. It looks more natural, but the feet must be splayed out somewhat in order to do that. When figures are fully clothed you may have to try several times to find the ideal place to make the string exit through the knee eye or staple. Also you must keep the waist articulated. People are blown away especially marionette artists when they see this done, so it is well worth the trouble.

I had a marionette when i was a kid in the late 80s. I watched the Augsburger Puppenkiste, i loved Jim Knopf and Schlupp in my childhood. My grandma gifted me a marionette and i was not able to walk and act with that like in this video.

I have finally found the exact footage I have been looking for. I am making an amateur music video for an amateur band called Dirt Nap. I would like to use some of this footage. No one will make any money from it and I am only going to use 5 to 15 second clips at a time and mix them with others. I'm nor going to just post your video in entirety and claim it to be mine. I hope you will consider my request. Thank you.

[@michaelstegall2340]

Did they consider your request?

I feel so bad for the marionette

[@shane1489]

What more awesome than people doing this today is the fact that somewhere some long time ago someone thought to try it.

[@luismiranda8944]

Ever since being a kid, I had no idea the top T shape could come apart. I thought they pulled the strings with their fingers.

[@A_cigarette_loving_orca_Idate]

[@moderndayentertainer.9516]

Mine have the strings on the back of its feet so I am confused.

[@mellissal4343]

Hi, are these handles available to purchase or do you have a video on how to make them? I just made my first marionette puppet but would love to be able to make them move better. Thanks.

[@wheninroamful]

I really want to learn marionette puppetry, can someone tell me where to get this puppet this man is using? Please...

[@wheninroamful]

Not necessary this one, as he could have made it, but recommendations for a beginner's marionette that are inexpensive but that can have dialed in articulation. Thanks.

[@darkforestzombie218]

What do you do if the string is attached to the foot rather than the knee?

[@wheninroamful]

Have a ceremonial burning of the marionette; sadly.
