    I'll be honest, if non avian dinosaurs managed to survive and coexist with us today, velociraptor world absolutely be fighting raccoons for trash bin rights. 😂

      Dinosaur Sanctuary has a velociraptor fight a raccoon for a koi

    wow, the flight movement on the phoenix is just gorgeous! A lot of people make the mistake of the wings doing simple up and down motions, and those feathers are just gorgeously crafted

      i love these!

      @roundhouse2616 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes I know!!! I hate it when people turn wings into some kind of rigid flaps in artistic representations. They're much more like arms!!

  • @timetobenotdo
    @timetobenotdo หลายเดือนก่อน +359

    Amazing. Nice work! Technical tip: no sound is a disservice. Doesn’t need music or narration but just some ambient room tone, natural outdoor sound, even low level. No sound actually detracts/distracts.

      I was very confused the whole time I thought it was muted

    • @farelimm
      @farelimm หลายเดือนก่อน +57

      I found myself really wanting to hear the sounds the puppets make

    • @SpiderQueen00
      @SpiderQueen00 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

      If there was music/soundtrack to it, it is possible that TH-cam muted it due to a supposed copyright claim, or there was an issue uploading, which stripped the audio.

    Honestly, I think a real velociraptor would move exactly the way like the puppet in this video, congratulations on the work, all the puppets are very beautiful!

    Forget cgi, I want THIS for the next dinosaur documentary!

  • @strawby

    Despite being fantastical, the movements are so lifelike! You can really feel all the time that went into these puppets

  • @Dinoslay
    @Dinoslay หลายเดือนก่อน +91

    That Velociraptor walking looks so lifelike! Astounding craftsmanship. 👏

  • @Bob-Cat-hc1hg
    @Bob-Cat-hc1hg หลายเดือนก่อน +59

    The detail and effort clearly put in to the puppets is just unbelievable, the way every aspect about them makes them look so life like. It is incredible.

  • @aberrantartist
    @aberrantartist หลายเดือนก่อน +69

    They way you craft wings and flight alongside the subtle movements makes everything feel so alive. Absolutely incredible

  • @chickenanon
    @chickenanon หลายเดือนก่อน +77

    Just to be clear: these are insane!!! Holy crap!!!!

  • @AmmoniteDragon
    @AmmoniteDragon หลายเดือนก่อน +37

    Amazing! Also somehow it makes perfect sense to have a velociraptor scouring the trash bins of our modern landscape

    "I'm telling you, he's a puppet!"
    "Stop it! Puppets can't move like that!"

  • @WhippoorWispWillow
    @WhippoorWispWillow หลายเดือนก่อน +14

    Ok, but the puppeteering for the sparrow though!! The shifting of the wings, the way the wings themselves moved? So cool! And the phoenix made me think of Faux from HP!!

  • @damaracarpenter8316
    @damaracarpenter8316 หลายเดือนก่อน +45

    Wow! These are so incredible. I want a whole film featuring them!

  • @funnysillyclown
    @funnysillyclown หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    These are all marvelous feats of engineering and beauty, but something about the pure simplicity of the little sparrow is especially captivating. It really lets you appreciate it for what it is: a puppet. The use of different material in order to create the desired movement being on full display is awesome. Bird puppets are like, the single best thing in the world to me. So glad this was in my recommended.
    Also: the legs and talons on the Pheonix have me awestruck. They simulate the landing amazingly. I liked how all the feet were weighted for movement, but the pheonix especially. WOW!

  • @ashleya3236
    @ashleya3236 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    This is awe-inspiring! If the puppet festival collaborated with foley artists I'm sure it would be absolutely breathtaking.

    The feet grabbing the branch was very cool.

  • @fantasybaystore2171
    @fantasybaystore2171 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The way the phoenix grabbed onto the branch… 😍 these are amazing. I justvwish there was a bit of ambient noise

  • @strizhi6717
    @strizhi6717 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

    LOL for a sec I thought my sound got cut off... in any case some things visually without sound is even more captivating. This is genius level of work!! Absolute masterpieces

  • @interruptingPreempt
    @interruptingPreempt หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Those marionettes are gorgeous! The puppetry is really great, too!

  • @graciliraptor3990
    @graciliraptor3990 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    The blue on the wings really give it a fire feel

  • @Aspenwood_pawzz
    @Aspenwood_pawzz หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    Wow, just wow. I’m speechless over these masterpieces.
    The entire time I was watching this I was forgetting that these are *puppets* and not animatronics or something. Puppets, made with absolute precision and care, being used by real humans. The movement of them is so lifelike I kinda forgot they were fake 😅
    And the feathers of the birds and the velociraptor are just… ✨magnificent✨

    wow!! the little sparrow was definitly my favorite
    those moves!

  • @Lastname_the_First
    @Lastname_the_First หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The attention to movement on these was captivating--so many little details that I notice in my own (live, pet) bird painstakingly replicated by the artist! The preening of the feathers and the way the wings are put together, the peculiar and adorable way that birds hop on the ground, and especially the little wing starts when they are standing and move their head suddenly--like they're about to take off again but don't. The flight differences between them were also so cool; the dragon's more upright posture when flying and hovering causing it to bob a bit as its wings cup the air, vs the birds' gliding... Magnificent!

  • @drpencilify
    @drpencilify หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Omg, they're all amazing and adorable. I actually gasped when the phoenix landed and gripped the pole.
    It was so interesting see the little sparrow, the bare components of it were fascinating. The expansion stitches on the wings to hold the flight feathers together in formation, so clever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creature creations

    Beautiful. I love puppets. I have all my life . Since I saw a puppet show at a birthday party, then I started by making puppets with spoons and popsicle sticks and others junk so I could entertain and make my baby brother laugh. Then I was a babysitter. And then a mother . Bought my daughter's first puppet at our towns river days. It was the goofy , colorful feather bird. I also turned into a clown . I have a nose. I blow bubbles,I can draw ,and I make balloon animals. I love to make people laugh. Especially if they start out angry or sad . That's what I was made for to channel light and truth and healing. I am old now , though I am getting ready to take a different journey. So glad to see the new wonderous creative stars. They are the ones to lead people to the New Demention of light and truth. And ☀️🌻🦋
