After quite a search, I found that this artist name is Michal Cvoliga from Slovakia. Youtube his name and you'll get lotsa results.

Came across this today. I've read all the book but none mentioned anything like this type of controller:

Wow!  You know I think people oftentimes come up with ingenious configurations all on their own. Like you, I'm betting she didn't find that in a book. That waistband holder is a really great idea!  I saw a guy that controls multiple marionettes simultaneously by hanging them on a clothesline type thing. That's a different take on that. It seems that waistband thing is holding the puppet's head, shoulders and back and it seems to have head movement controls on it. The hands and arm controls look like a T which I've seen before. But, she's got those hooks on them which she's using to guide and grab the strings and manipulate them.  Really cool! Thanks for sharing.

Reference: Andycomic post, What Kind Of Controller is this?- he posted 2 links, however- when you click on them- you receive a message "server not found".  Could be that the post is 4 years old.  If there are updated links- would appreciate the new links.  Thanks.

For his first link to Tony Sinnett try this: http://www.tonysinnett.com/ not sure if the actual page he linked to was there but I think you'll enjoy the site even if it is not.  I think the other may be lost for ever but you might be able to find it at the Wayback Machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20150801165853/http://figurama.de/  Here is their current site. http://www.figurama.de/

Hey I think I found the Tony Sinnett page that has controllers now. http://companyofmarionettes.com/marionette-spare-parts/

I love going through old posts, I can learn a lot. Too bad most of the links provided do not work anymore.
I am myself going into this marionette adventure without much knowledge and this forum has been my favorite place to be for the last decade. I learn a lot and I know I can grow as an artist here and not be looked at weird. Thanks for sharing all!

What is the name of the type of controller that is offered on the website? Here is a pic of that controller. It would be nice to know where the strings go, if you can tell me that would be awesome, thanks.

Hmm... may be a more technical term for it but I've always just called it a vertical control.  The very top screw eye is a run through for the hands. The pivot bar below that is for walking attached to knees. The head bar is dowel at the bottom on the same plane as the pivot bar above. The dowel sticking out the back is for the butt string. Try the phrase "Vertical control for marionette"  on Google. It should give you some pretty good results.  If you are a visual person like me check out this pintrest page: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/313211349057032025/

Here is a diagram one of our members uploaded of a variation on this.


Here is a diagram of a simple airplane control I did a while back.

Awesome, thanks Shawn, you have answered my question brilliantly.
