Puppets!

I loved this the first time I saw it, ages ago.

I'm trying to figure out if automata count as a puppet. I think they do.

Anyhoo, we're fascinated by puppets here at Anime Hell. And not in some geeky way.



ANY KIND OF PUPPET.



Is stop-action a puppet? Yes. A very slow one.

(Everything individually micced for your listening pleasure.)



Incidentally, the mechanics that make this doll work were copied for a very simple robot that caries product from one track to another where there can be no track. I can't find the video at the moment.



I still have plans to create an El Topo Gigo. Or maybe a Topo G.I.Joe?

By the way. That first video? Here's what it samples.

The Hyp*notic Eye

I've written about Joe Riley's award winning public access show before, now here's a taste. This is the opening segment of episode 5, which should give you an idea of the utter coolness of The Hyp*notic Eye. While Joe isn't making wacky clip shows anymore, you can see he's still busy over at his blog, MEN-OO-SHE-A. Enjoy!
