This was a complex yet incredibly valuable project for experimenting with puppetry mechanisms. This project involved the creation of a concept prototype of a mechanical hand that utilised a system of control cables that could be operated remotely from the puppet allowing for the individual control of the fingers, wrist and forearm.
