Hello,

I am inquiring on behalf of Excelsior Entertainment for a quote on hiring a marionette maker.

Below is the fundamental job description:

Life-size female marionette to be built a la Being John Malkovich, as well as the typical drawing wooden figure model.
Must be able to be operated by 2 puppeteers from rooftop of several-storied building away from public view (stunt is taking place in Manhattan)
Requesting light-weight yet durable material, e.g. molded plastic.
Requesting hollow head made with translucent material, we would like to illuminate light from within to make it appear to be glowing.
Moveable facial additions, i.e. eyes and mouth, optional but not undesired.
Marionette will be holding tray of promotional products and interacting with street audience, products will be passed around by street team.
Possible collaboration with mannequin maker.
Project deadline: beginning of May
Location of performance: Manhattan

Thank you for the wonderful website and we hope to hear from you soon!
