FINAL CHARACTER DESIGN

Shadow Puppets used in "The Ant Prophecies" Performance Art Piece.

ANT NUMBER ONE

ANT NUMBER TWO

FIREFLY OVER THE SKULL'S HEAD IS ATTACHED TO AN IGNITER WITH A PUSH BUTTON SWITCH. REQUIRES TWO "AA" BATTERIES

THE SKULL IS ATTACHED WITH A SINGLE STRING AND SPRING. A BLOCK IS ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM TO STOP THE TOP FROM COMING DOWN TOO FAR. ALL THE MOVEMENT IS IN THE TOP OF THE SKULL (UNLIKE A REAL TALKING HUMAN HEAD) THE FOUR POUND TEST MONOFILAMENT COMING OUT OF THE EYE AND NOSE.

NOTE: IF YOU TRY TO RECONSTRUCT THESE PUPPETS OR MAKE SIMILAR ONES YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THE DRAWINGS ON THE FOAM CORE DO NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION. YOU HAVE TO FIND WHERE THE SPRINGS ACTUALLY ARE AND WHERE THE HINGES ACTUALLY ARE AS WELL AS THE STRING ATTACHMENTS. DEVICES USED ARE SCREWS, SPRINGS, AND EYE SCREWS.
