I can’t stop thinking about how “ABBA but shredding” is apparently just Queen, which is the best news ever tbh.
no but what’s so great about this is the guy isn’t playing extra licks over the top of the track, which is what I was expecting. no he’s just playing the instrumentation on the track and showing how clever and well-arranged it already was. ABBA is fuckin good, fite me (and so is this guy)
We’re sending out a second call to fill in remaining slots for the Re-Phanimated project, which we hope to release on April 4, 2024 - the 20th anniversary of Danny Phantom.
Animators of all levels are encouraged to apply! Scene selection will be first-come, first-served for this round of signups.
You know itās a great puppet when you donāt even notice the two entire people under and behind its body moving its limbs until itās halfway across the stage.
Even after I realized itās a puppet, my brain is still telling me āthose are just its handlers, itās walking around on its ownā. Itās incredibly lifelike, especially the way it moves (or is, technically, being moved).
Many thanks to @jedipirateking who sent me this as a message link. What I replied there applies here, too:
Iāve always been taken with the stage-version horse for āWar Horseāā¦
ā¦but this tiger is something else. Okay, me and cats, big or small, enough said. :-D
Put the sponge down and back off, now.
Another small note: years ago, DD and I were ātargetedā by a big cat (lion, Basel Zoo) and it was several seconds before we actually noticed - because the Basel Zoo animal enclosures are as real as they can manage, without letting American dentists shoot the inhabitants.
However, in those several (IRL fatal) seconds before visual confirmation, this pair of H. sapiens reverted to a default response of sweaty-palmed, fluttery-stomached find a tree and climb high, right now!
Listen to the audience with the tiger puppet. Iām hearing a nervous note in their laughter which suggests the same thing is happening there, too.
