Brings to mind the fun and free feeling of watching the JR JR "Gone" video of the dancing legs linked here the other day. https://vimeo.com/136337308
And before that an ever so brief moment of wonderment occurred as to whether or not I was seeing the real ChipAhoy revealing the paper wonder of some kind of a Pharaoh that popped out of his imagination. However that thought was squelched as soon as the accent sunk in and I realized it wasn't an Egyptian being finger driven. Still and all, the creativity behind the whole thing impressed in a similar manner.
Up a puppets bottom, in their head, or dancing legs, it's all good!
Twit-tah! Good one. Seriously, that is a great puppet design. But I find I have limited tolerance for accents such as his. But keep up the good work, kid, maybe someday you will live in a country that supports your creativity.
Compli-ca'e(d) glottal stop substituting for consonant, avoided saying "ted" while very specifically isolating the double T in Twitter,(while dropping the final r.)
Now, say "Korea" and it comes out "career" because an R intrudes on the end of all place names.
Originally a joke put out against their territories and their colonies, Americer, Canader, Australier, that got out hand.
Africer Bolivier Chiner Louisianer Florider North Caroliner Pennsylvanier and so on.
Now say "career" and it comes out "Korea" because the final R must be dropped.
Why must it be dropped? National consent.
But when you get passed all that, adorable. He was trying to improve his stop animation, he must be studying animation in school, but that attempt failed and led to this instead.
That looks like a Hopi native, North American native. Or else Central American native. And one of his moves imitates The Matrix. I'm seeing two important elements drawn from or inspired by America. And that right there is cultural appropriation. And now I have to go off and find a safe place and get over myself. Oh wait, I'm here. Nevermind.
Comments where I found it are uncharacteristically receptive and supportive. And comments on YouTube are supportive as well. They all expect he'll make millions from his idea.
Agility of mind. I can see where you would be fascinated by this Chip. That is a great puppet.
Here is another example (completely different issue) from down under: How to catch Tuna on the beach with a Drone (via Ace-Neidermeir's Dead Horse): gone fishing
Chip, it would be interesting to see an Egyptian Pharaonic version, like Anubis or Horus, and then have it do that stereotypical Egyptian Pharaonic dance. To Walk Like An Egyptian.
Well, I want one. Several. Many characters. That looks like so much fun! The possibilities of motion and interaction are incredibly vast.
I am reminded of the Asian ping pong videos where they have crew dressed entirely in black on a black set with only the ping pong players and accessories the focus of the shot. The crew in black then manipulates the players and ball as if they were puppets and create elaborate, physics defying game play.
When I was little we would go canoeing at the Delaware Water Gap, Milford to Dingman's Ferry. Good trip. Whenever we were there, we'd hit the Water Gap Bakery, and get their home made donuts. Excellent donuts. Worth an hour drive if you need donuts.
BUT they had all sorts of stuff there- including a whole bunch of woodland creature hand puppets. I would be drawn to these immediately, and put on a show for my own amusement as I tried out all the various critters.
I used to do that with any old stuffed animal too- but when you get things specifically made for manipulation it becomes so much more fluid, and fun.
I suppose I'll have to make my own puppet at this point, and I'm not smart enough to replicate that :(. Yet.
The drone dangled a small octopus for bait. And the fishing line breaks away from the drone without crashing it. Two innovations right there.
Bait octopus: Oh great, first I get stabbed through the brain with a hook and suspended from a filament then I'm flown over the shore by drone then I'm dipped back into the ocean still connected right into a school of tuna. Life is so unfair sometimes and altogether too violent and sho..."
Humans are awful. But that is completely ace. "How to catch a tuna with your $2,000 drone."
Step 1: charge drone for six hours. Step 2: Turn on drone and connect to 11 geostationary satellites and position itself. Step 3: Contact Dept of Fisheries and Oceanic Studies for tuna information. Step 4: catch fish. Step 5: upload video
At Dinosaur Ridge we walked right past the footprints. That's the farthest I've walked the road. Rob asked for a flat launching place so I suggested the top, the hairpin curve allows parking for a few cars, now not used, so a wide flat surface up where the baby rattlesnakes are.
The crest is cut through for the road and that creates a tunnel effect with the wind rushing either side of the ridge. It was cloudy, near sprinkling, near sunshine as it does all day, and windy.
"This drone can hold steady in this wind?"
"Yes. It is holding steady. It's just hanging there adjusting by satellite positioning and by internal sensors."
It has a good 25 minutes, I think, Rob shuts it down at 30%. When the drone calculates distance from base and remaining charge then it returns on it own to base.
I've only seen these things crash so I was impressed with Rob's careful drone piloting. The drone is stored in a large rectangular backpack. And it's serious monkey biz wax. I meant to say serious business just now but that other thing accidentally came outta me instead.
A large codpiece, pouch or maybe a kilt, skirt or tutu is needed to cover the folded back middle finger. I tried making my 2nd and 4th fingers dance along naked with the electronic piano music and it was tricky business. Some peoples fingers are better at dancing than others. I can't make it happen without my pinky sticking out and giving the gig away.

Subscribed to his Twitthah found this:
Private video made public for y'all (He types Southern)
YouTube puppet dancing with electronic piano
That's pretty amazing.
A large codpiece, pouch or maybe a kilt, skirt or tutu is needed to cover the folded back middle finger. I tried making my 2nd and 4th fingers dance along naked with the electronic piano music and it was tricky business. Some peoples fingers are better at dancing than others.

A True Scotsman doing the fling might be fun.
