Avid UK has a number of small documentaries about Lazytown on their website. You get to see behind the scenes footage, including me! My face isn’t visible, since it’s pressed into one of the puppet’s backsides, but you can see the operating position that we work in. I was able to grab a screen shot so I can tell you who to look for in the video. This was from “The Workflow.”
I’m the person in the middle, doing the live hands. Julie is operating the head and body, and Emily is crouching behind us doing the eye mechanism. Please note: This is a comfortable position as such things go.
Hehe. I have forwarded it on to my sister, but she might not show my niece who is possibly still young enough that she thinks they are real! 😀
Thanks for the link. That was really interesting.
And Avi enjoyed it, too. (He loves Lazy Town.)
thats really intersting to see, i’m use to old hand up the back of the head foam puppet kind of dealies.
Always happy to share–when I’m allowed to.
Heiko, I think we use just about every trick in the book for this show.
