One of the most iconic BTS images from The Howling was for a prop never used in the final film! Bottin had a lot of woes when trying to decide how the final film's werewolves would be realized as, deciding to opt out of the 'man in a suit' method.

It was decided werewolves would be realized as a rod puppet, similar to those in Japanese theatre. The eight feet tall puppet was designed and constructed by Jeff Shank (along with Steve Shank), and impressed Dante and Bottin; the puppet had a clearly wolf-like frame, rather than clearly being an actor in a suit.

However, the rod puppet eventually was rejected due to being unable to walk (Dante wanted the werewolves to be seen walking) and also having potential problems they weren't sure they could sort out before finishing, meaning it was never used in the final film. Bottin wished to have another puppet built for close-ups, but this was shot down by Shank and Dante. The final film would have a return to the 'man in suit' method.

i think what i love most about avenue q is how the puppets can have different designs

ie in some i’ve seen kate has different fur textures, rod’s hue of blue varies, sometimes princeton has different head shapes too. i saw a production of avenue q by a college theatre program and they had the cutest version of the bad idea bears! one was pink and had a dress and bow

the fact that anyone can make their own interpretation of these characters and make them into something new shows off how beautiful of an art puppeting is

#puppet #avenue q #broadway #puppeteering #PUPPETING 👏NEEDS👏 MORE 👏RESPECT👏

Don’t ever be upset that there’s a certain puppeteer who can do a certain trick better than you can

(Here’s a little secret)

They don’t always do those tricks alone!

They get into weird positions with other puppeteers, in a some sort of Tango!

Those are some examples of puppeteers behind the scenes!

here's my wally puppet - in action!!!

as you can see, he isn't perfect - his mouth is a bit odd and his hair isn't big enough - but i'm very proud of him all the same! using lots of time, energy, felt, and love, i sewed up this little fellow in a few hours... and considering how he's my first real puppet (as opposed to a sock puppet), and how he was made with a non-standard method (not an inch of foam in his fuzzy body!), i think he turned out just delightful!! don't you? :)

#dandy's doodles #<- sure! why not?#welcome home #welcome home wally #wally darling #kin #puppet #puppeteering #of course i have background knowledge from watching the puppet nerd on youtube... but it's not as if i used it!! haha #i don't have fleece or foam. only felt!#so i modified a simple six-piece sphere into a basic puppet head #cutting the sixth piece down the middle to form the mouth opening #then sewing the mouth pieces to the edges #then i cut a neck hole in the bottom #added his eyes and hair #and made the neck!#the whole process was a lot of fun and taught me a lot about both general sewing and puppet-making #what a lovely experience - all to being my dear wally to life!!#and surely he must have some of that wonderful puppet magic inside of him -#i was watching the muppet show and don't hug me i'm scared while making him!!#but anyway... yeah... i hope you like him for all of his little quirks :)

Fun fact. I could have been a professional puppeteer. As in Muppets level.

I started training as a child. Yes they start that young. We took classes after school. We performed. Competed.

In 5th grade after two years of training my group went and competed in Manhattan Beach, CA and won 4th place.

It's rigorous. A lot of arm strength, dedication, team work, and coordination.

By high school I was literally eligible to teach. I started training the "next round" of 3rd-5th graders and got to coordinate recitals.

I resigned because I moved out of state. But who knows where I would have been. There's a part of me who misses it. My right arm is significantly stronger than my left and not just because I'm right handed but because you literally hold your arm in the air for hours.

It's a weird thing but it'll always be a part of me.

At the end of the iconic transformation sequence, Kessler becomes a 'juvenile' and less furred werewolf, nicknamed the 'man-beast' by the crew. It is only briefly seen in the final film.

The man-beast was a rod puppet operated by someone underneath the set, created from two different moulds - the body was a recasting of the transformation body mould, and the head was a recasting of the final werewolf mould.

"A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THE CRYSTAL CRACKED..."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1000x1500 -- Spotlight on poster art for American dark fantasy/family film "The Dark Crystal" (1982), co-directed by Jim Henson✝ & Frank Oz. Universal Pictures.

"A thousand years ago, the Crystal cracked. And here, far from the castle, the race of Mystics came to live in a dream of peace. Their ways were the gentle ways of natural wizards. Yet now there are only ten. A dying race, numbly rehearsing the ancient ways in a blur of forgetfulness. But today, the ritual gives no comfort. Today, the wisest of the Mystics lies dying. Today, they summon the one who must save them."

-- THE SCROLL KEEPER/HISTORIAN (the film's opening monologue, screenplay by David Odell)
