TV & Film Puppetry art that I drew in late October of last year.
I've been interested in the art of television and film puppetry since childhood. Not only was I a fan, I was curious on how it worked.
Art is more than just entertainment, creativity is magic.
I remember when I was a kid, drawing and trying to figure out how it all worked.
Perhaps such filmmaking techniques slightly differ from how a human being is filmed.
It's important that the puppeteer isn't visible on camera for the most part.
The puppeteer would need to watch a monitor so they can see the puppet performance in real time.
A camera operator might be present if it's a studio production. However with independent filmmaking ( or video making for some ), a video camera set up on a tripod can get a simple scene filmed.
But all scenes in puppetry filmmaking aren't the same. It can be simple or it can be more complex, depending on what what you want to achieve creatively.
Many times, puppeteers would wear a headband with a microphone but sometimes for puppet characters might be audio recorded ahead of time.
This is a visual general idea of how television / filmmaking works but it can differ in many ways.
A puppet character could be behind a desk with the puppeteer hiding behind it or the set could be built higher so the puppeteer can perform while standing.
