Silicone Puppets with CG Features
We designed and built silicone character puppets with interchangeable costumes. The puppets were shot against a green screen and controlled via rods to give a humorous spontaneity to their movements. We tracked the motion of the puppet heads in the computer and added expressive eyes and mouths.
