just finished this eye rig for a client. I filmed the creation of the rig for one of my tutorials. Here is the final product though in action.

Very nice work!

That is what I am also looking for myself.....it looks great!

Will the tutorial also show how you secure it in a foam head?

Thanks

Yes if you want. So far I shot it being built but installing it is just as impoertant.

looks good Jay.. I can't wait until you go live with the tutorials.  Any guess when that will be

Jay, with these tutorials you're doing a great service to the puppet building community. 

Thank you.

I agree Jon............... I'm real excited with all the building projects inventing,tutorials,new pattern designs................... that everyone is contributing. So far so good Jay can't wait to get the tutorials.

It should be this week on the tutorials. The originals will be available first but that includes three or four that were never shown like covering the body tips on bodies hands and eye mecks of course. Then the final tennat videos like building the head from scratch and the facial featurtes and finishing touches will be next. The next project is building a rat from scratch. Then i had an idea about a contest I am doing. We we will a contes on picking the next new 99 acre character. The winner will get the construction videos of how he or she was built  and a copy of all the patterns. Not sure if this will be as intresting to non puppet makers I may have to come up with an alternate prize for them.

I have a list of videos to do next though:

-Buildingt he contest winner puppet
-Building rats...
-designing a puppet from existing artwork and breaking it down to basic shapes....
-arm rod controls....
-making puppet clothes patterns from real clothes...
-detailed hand sewing
-green screening....
-making sets and props...
-makinga 99 acre video from scratch from sound to filming and editing and compression.

and I have so many more like minatures, matte painting, CG work and so on that i will film. I guess from now on I will take a camera everywhere.

That's a really neat mech!
