You can find out about puppets, and how to make them. There are many kinds of puppet and they are usually sculpted or modelled, from the simple to the complex.


A puppet may be operated directly by a puppeteer, or indirectly - by the use of strings or by other mechanical contrivance - even remotely by electronics. Puppets can even be worn in costume. Puppets may also be animated with stop motion animation. Possibly all of these techniques were employed in Frank Oz's Little Shop Of Horrors (1986).


Mechanics of Movement


You can control a puppet in many ways, and combine the methods to good effect. for example, it was common on the muppet show to use one hand to control the mouth and head movements directly, while the other hand of the puppeteer could move the rods to control the arms. Eyes may be opened and closed by pulling strings in the inside of the head.

This marionette was created by Paul Anthony of Riegelsville, PA. (link)


A marionette is controlled by a puppeteer with strings.

The name Marionette comes from the figure of Marion, or the Virgin Mary, in the passion plays. "Marionette" means "Little Mary". Long ago, in France, it was illegal to for an actor to play a divine character, so they used string puppets in their Passion Plays to represent them.

]]>Rod Puppethttp://thepuppetpages.wetpaint.com/page/Rod+Puppetclarahttp://thepuppetpages.wetpaint.com/page/Rod+PuppetFri, 11 May 2007 15:40:23 CDTrod puppet is a type of puppet in which rods of wood or metal support the head inside the costume, while additional rods may support and control the arms (and more rarely, the legs) from outside the costume.

Usually the rods are worked from below or behind, although rod marionettes with a heavy rod fastened to the top of the head and thinner rods working the arm(s), are controlled from above.
