Puppetry and Animatronics. Posted by Shawn on Sep 14, 2013
Saw this posted over at Puppet Hub by Philip Millar and wanted to share it here.  It is a talk that Philip gave at the agIdeas Design Conference in 2009.  Philip Millar is in charge of concept design and management over at Creature Technology. They are the ones responsible for Walking With Dinosaurs, How To Train Your Dragon and most recently King Kong. You can read more about those projects on their site.

This is a fairly long video but well worth watching. I had not realized that the anamatronic dinosaurs actually had muscles of sorts underneath their skins. Check it out, you'll glad you did. I actually watched it full screen so I could see more detail in his examples.

 If anyone is interested and has 3 hours or so.... the following webinar is very interesting. Makes you  decide to either rob a bank and get a second life to have enough time and money... or stick with the simple. Anyhow....

I had missed this the first time it was posted. Philip Millar was really interesting.

Now maybe if I can find 3 hours I'll watch the next one.  Maybe on my next big sewing job?

Man those are awesome, the sounds and small movements make them seem so real.
