Having tried out the basic attempts at a running figure with
stage one prototypes I realised that I needed to somehow understand how to make
a better and more mechanically sophisticated puppet. The most important thing
was to give the sense of a shadow puppet that looked like it was running.
Also the metal supports needed better fixings.
When I looked at other shadow puppet movies none of them had
moving legs that ran. Generally the feet were loose.
In the Kate Bush music video the animals moved and ran
convincingly because they had four legs that worked very simply together. The
human running figure is much more complex as the arms and legs work in a more
complex way.
