Now a giant boy marionette
Feb 16th, 2007 by Hil
Today I came across this photo of a giant boy marionette, taken in Sydney’s CBD in late January. It’s very much like Royal de Luxe’s little giantess (who has been visiting Santiago, Chile, in the company of a rhinoceros) but I doubt he is theirs. Does anyone know the film company, or what production they were working on?
Update: A couple of people have uploaded videos of the puppet. Apparently it is to be in a Korean clothing commercial of some sort:

Giant Puppet in Syndey
I assume this was a practice session, since the articulation has a way to go, but it’s interesting to see how tricky it is after the seemingly faultless performances by Royal de Luxe. The hips look a bit too wobbly as if they might need to go back to the drawing board, but the untidy looseness in the legs and arms lend a bit of boyishness at times. I wonder what it is made out of? I’d guess plastic not wood. I was really surprised that Royal de Luxe uses wood.

Hi Anastasia. I’m sorry I don’t have any more information about him, but I have some links to some more photos of him in a new post today. It looks like he is at a festival in Korea, so maybe you will be able to recognize which one and get in touch with the organizers? Good luck! And please let me know if you find out more about him? :)
