Moving Boxes

For this project, I was directing a pair of my classmates and fellow costume techs along with myself. Each moving box began with creating our own new boxes, cutting down recycled ones. Next, taking inspiration from the video )linked below), I cut the shapes for the mouths. I created my own mechanism for the mouths moving, where the puppeteer holds on to a horizontal rod inside the box and uses their free thumb to operate a loop glued to the inside of the mouth. To hide everything, we used red fabric along the inside.

After the mechanisms were finished, the three of us each made a couple pairs of eyes for them.
