So, are you performing the puppets, building them (would be awesome, you're great), or what? What's your role?
Sounds awesome, though. I'm proud to know you're getting to do that!!
i was contacted by them to help with the puppetry stuff for the most part, but i have also been sculpting some stuff for Ami ,Yumi, and doing detail work on the animal planet float, ill post pics after the parade, they dont want any images out thier befro its up and running on parade day,
i will also be lead puppeteer , although they wont really be doing much, its very simple movments these are some very big, very heavy puppets so simplicty was key , mostly ill be taking care of the soft construction end of things (although i did sculpt one of the cats , the black one i dont know its name), and the costumes and the face covering, they were sculpted by two very seasoned parade veterans, and i have been consulting with the rigging team , and thier engineers, we tested one of the heads today ,its a very impresive thing to see up close.
