Rubbish Skip Rats
These three puppets were designed and built for the grad film Litter Bugg for Ba(hons) Film Production students.
The rats are between 3.5 and 4ft in total (tails included). The jaws are operated using a bicyle cable mechanism. The cable runs inside an aluminum rod, which supports the bulk of the rat's weight. There is also a black cord attaced to each rat's rump, which balances the rest of the weight. The limbs are fully mobile and with momentum they create a running motion. |
