Subject: PUPT: Eyelid Mechanisms


Hey all...

For video puppets we usually have the eyelid controlled by the left hand
but I wonder how the rest of you do it.  Do some of the muppet folks have
any info to share?  Do you use fingers inside the head to acuate the lids?
Do you use cables like we do or radio control?   We don't like the servo
noise created by RC.  Although range is better it kills the performance
recordings.
