Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Weight Watchers "Hungry" character


I watched it three times.
I'm certain it was all live puppeteering, of a tv puppet (with two "live 
human arms") manipulated from below and behind, with rods. I think three 
puppeteers at least, maybe more for the juggling shot.

Shot in front of green screen in most of the scenes. The movements are way 
too natural (notice the sudden jerks, totally natural) for a regular stop 
motion. Even if the medium had reached the proper level of illusion,  it 
would still be nearly impossible in this case, considering the usually 
limited time frame allowed to create a publicity.
