Our photographer finaaaallllly got back to us with the results of our December 2009 photo-shoot. We shot these in a park in the middle of a council estate whilst being harassed by the ASBO generation and a grandma convinced we were child abusers dressed as penguins preying on small children! Nice- just another morning taking culture to the masses.

Images available on request.

Epico Movement Test 2:

Here you can see the benefits of removing the back leg- pantomime horse approach in favour the one performer rig. Epico's facial movements are not cabled up here, but already you can see the extraordinary range of movement and emotion he's giving us. Go Epico!

Smaller, lighter, leaner:

Last week we took the big decision to scale Epico back from a two performer rig to a solo rig, slimming him down from 6m to 5m. This has had the effect of making him much more responsive and agile puppet, its also reduced our costs. Whilst we are sad to see the back legs go it does mean no one will get relegated to performing the dragons bum!

More photos to follow at the end of the week as we tackle the legs and the wings.

Baby Egbertah & Irving Mackrel Esq.

Just shot these pictures for the new Peter Johnson Catalogue. We are hoping the Penguin Family will be a big hit this Christmas complete with festive santa hats and sprigs of holly. They are also great for environmental events where Irving takes on the role of a climate change denier and Egbertah the eco activist. To request these shots just send us a mail.
