Pheewww! That is some serious tech rigging to spoil the animators! 1500+ controllers…
During the opening to Puppeteer Lounge‘s new studio space I presented “Dolpo School” to the Sir of Himalayas, Mr. Binod Shahi, one of my greatest friend!
“Dolpo School” is an animated short currently in production at
Puppeteer Lounge. The short is dedicated to the children of upper Dolpo
(one of the remotest corner of Nepal) and Mr. Binod Shahi who is on an
epic mission to provide proper education to the children of Dolpo!

The trick really lies in the “curves” to generate procedural movement of these mechanical characters or the Animatronix!

~ “I took the “Basic Foundation” Animation Workshop to improve my
animation and to learn how to use Maya. I was very pleased with the course; the
small class sizes as well as the open and friendliness of the teacher created
an engaging and fun environment to learn. As soon as I finish “Basic
Foundation” I will straight away be starting “Body Mechanics” and in the future
I would like to take some of the rigging and python courses that PuppeteerLounge has to offer.”
