The Jeep Liberty Eagle - TV Commercial Fully articulated puppet The Jeep Liberty Eagle - My favorite re-creation to date! Made from Chicken, Peacock and Domestic goose feathers - no kidding! Spent 4.5 weeks on this one with my very good friend Lindsay MacGowan who keyed the project at the studio that hired me. This piece was completely articulated -- Head, neck, eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, wings legs and tail all moved! It was assembled one feather at a time -- about 1,500 to 2,000 feathers glued on with tweezers - yikes! Flamingos - These are re-creations made from domestic goose and duck feathers dyed pink. These were used in a brief sequence in a TV commercial - I REALLY enjoyed making these, and look forward to doing one for the World Show competition. My Thanks to Jim Kimball, who works for me, for his invaluable assistance. This was my favorite of the group Wings for the Jeep Liberty Eagle -- These were made separately for a flying sequence at the beginning of the commercial - took about 2.5 weeks to make these alone. Paulie from "Paulie a Parrots Tale" Motion Picture My first movie project, and my introduction to Lindsay MacGowan who became a great friend. Paulie was also my introduction to feather-by-feather assembly. Puppet was completely articulated. This was one of the strangest re-creations to date! A wonderful artist from New York, comissioned me to build this parrot for a project she had designed. As you can see there's a SPEAKER in the middle of his chest! The mandible opened and closed in time to a recorded playback that repeated whatever noise it 'heard' near it. Yump! There's a little something out there for everyone! Klamath Bank Pelican - Tv Commercial Made for a series of commercials for this Oregon bank, it was my FIRST re-creation! Head swivels 90 degrees. Simple, but I still like it!
