“…sometimes disguises are necessary, but never hide your heart.” -Coleman Barks
I spent a week at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s National Puppetry Conference in a workshop called Video Anarchy led by puppet film pros Tim Lagasse and Martin Robinson. Myself and four other puppetry artists cooperatively filmed and edited our movies in five full and fast paced days. I took advantage of using the O’Neill grounds for a backdrop and as a training ground to learn our new Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera.
I had the great honor of seeing my puppets performed by Martin and Tim, as well as veteran puppeteers Gavin Cummins and Leila Ghaznavi, with production support from Geoffrey Jones and Joe DeTullio. The music is from Dvorak's String Quartet in E-Flat Major, Op. 51, B. 92 IV. Finale by the Stamitz Quartet.
This is a first draft, I’ll continue editing and color correcting this summer, and perhaps start a sequel.
