Puppet Cable-Control Tutorial

#Puppet #PracticalEffects #SciFi
Full breakdown of this alien puppet build for my animated/practical effects sci-fi adventure series Escape From Planet Omega-12 for my SubscribeStar and Substack supporters. Although this is being done for next to no money using junk I've saved or gotten from other people over the years, it's still the most complicated puppet I've built to date but really it's just an extension of the cable-controlled tentacles I've built in the past. This will be made publically available later but if you want to be first, check the pinned comment.

I think he just gave me an inspiration for my animatronic designs! I’m gonna try using this cable idea for making my sculptures move around with a control panel.

That's awesome. I hope you'll share the results.

Is the handmade handles just to give you more range for a greater degree of control? I'm looking to build a small puppet with cable controls like this but I was just going to use the stock bike brake handles. Always great to get a look at others' work process and ideas :)

[@christophermoonlightproduction]

I haven't tried brake handles but the advantage here is that you can place the hinge higher or lower to get different degrees of leverage. However, this is just a basic overview. I would encourage anyone to experiment with variations.

This video is you. And that’s what KZbin should be. Gives me faith

So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

Thank you! Appreciate this so much! 🙏

Thank you for watching. I hope you find it useful.

Some nice work here! I like what you're doing. I'm looking to make a disembodied eye with squirming severed optic nerves. Do you think I could use a set up like this? Thank you.

[@christophermoonlightproduction]

Yeah, I think you could do something similar. Check out my Alien Chestburster video. That might be more along the lines of what you need.
