Subject: [Puptcrit] How to Make a Moving Mouth Mask


Dear All,

 

I need to make a mask that is operated by use of a bulb.  I have seen Tarry
Fator do something like this: He would use a volunteer from the audience and
ask them to wear a mask of which he would control the lower jaw with a bulb
and air tube.    I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction
about how the hinge mech is constructed.

 

I want to hang such a mask off the back of my head.  When I face front I
will be the Fisherman (my own face) and when I turn around I will be the
Fisherman's wife complaining about her life.

 

Any direction.dare I say trade secrets.would me very much appreciated.
