Studio Practice: THE RESURRECTION

PLAN

FIX BIG PUPPET

People seemed to like the big puppet but it fell apart a little when I tried to add a jaw.

BUT since people are responding well to this one, I have decided to resurrect her!

SOLVED: Not permanently fixed, but a temporary revive for this lil' gal.

Aim: take a groovy photo of me and the Gelfling mirroring each other. Like the below photo of Jim and Kermit - a relationship/bond between puppeteer and puppet.

Took some photos of me with her - puppet and puppeteer - really wanted some photos out in the garden to match the rest of the series.., maybe us looking at each other on a bench, but it was raining so I made do with a quick snap of us inside.

HOW COOL WOULD IT BE FOR ME TO LAY MY OWN BEARD AND DRESS UP AS JIM AND TAKE A SHOT LIKE THAT! Alas, really running out of time before my print slot so I had to make a speedy decision with this and at first I hated it! I look so awkward and the doll has green hair - just looks weird!!!!

BRAINWAVE : what about a black and white filter? It might make the poster stick out like a sore thumb next to the rest of the set, BUT it would tone down the green hair, it would make it look like she was a mirror of me - 'frankly, I'm much more comfortable when I'm wearing a puppet' would make so much more sense if she's a puppet version of myself - AND it would link to Jim's earlier work in black and white. His first broadcasts. His classic projects.

It's also BREAKING THE MAGIC SPELL. Behind the scenes, the black and white of Jim's career rather than the technicolour finished products.

Adds authenticity to the poster.
