Abstract

I work in the film business, making animated films with puppets. These films are not cartoons, yet neither are they quite live puppetry; they are a blend of both. Puppet animation is a performance, as much as any live presentation is; but it is a performance that is recorded in time, frame by frame. The moving, living character exists only on film. The puppet performance must somehow be created outside of time. Each second of movement is broken down into as many as twenty-four separate poses. The animator must live … feel … and act … in small steps of time.
