This is a high end Hand puppet with Animatronic features that were cable controlled.
Global brand IWOCA had a great advertising concept that would span TV, internet and socials all about a Lirpasloof (Aprilfools). It was to be a viral video about goat yoga but with mythical animals, in this case the infamous Lirpasloof.
They wanted a High end puppet that could only be operated by one person. It needed to look fairly realistic and they wanted animatronic features like eye blinks and independent ear motions.
Chris worked with Adam Keenan fx to develop the cable controlled mechanism that was inside the head. The puppet features a robust latex skin, high end furs, hair replacement and hair punching, flocking, painting, sculpted mouth pallet, sculpted hooves and ears, poseable legs, and a fabricated body.
Please see below for images of the making of this TV puppet.
