One negative thing was that if it breaks on stage, you don' t have a backup plan. One question I had was if the puppeteers had to specially train to control puppets.]]> 2016-11-29 00:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373115 Sophie 22pichardos1_1 https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373124 I learned that breath is very important for a puppet. They need to look alive so that audiences can really believe the performance. (Emotional engineering)

The people who are in the puppet have to learn a lot about the animal they are portraying so they can give a clear performance. The little things and details matter.  ]]> 2016-11-29 00:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373124 Airi 22katsumotoa https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373126 Positive
Horses ears are important in these puppets to make it alive.The small parts made the horse more realistic.
Negative
In puppets like this we need to make a lot of small parts to make it realistic.
Question
I wonder how the actors inside the horse achieved that to make it the same timing.

It could easily fool people because it sounds real. Still the movements were sometimes off a little bit. ]]> 2016-11-29 00:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373127 Evan 22bajaje2_1 https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373137 How do the people make the noises of the horse and hyena?

One negative thing is that it looks like the war horse could be easily broken.

One Positive thing is that the whole skeleton of the horse is really amazing. For example how they make the skeleton]]> 2016-11-29 00:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373137 Koumae 22adamsk https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373141 Positive,
I think that something positive about puppets is that they could capture people's attention and could inspire someone. Puppets could also teach lessons and stories to some people (especially children).]]> 2016-11-29 00:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373141 I think that the sound effect is really realistic and interesting. I would like to know how they made the sounds 22shuy1_1 https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373143 2016-11-29 00:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373143 Sofia https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373164 Positive-
They try to make it look alive it like a struggle to make it stay alive and make you believe that it is alive. 

Of each puppet that they make they use the same structure but just make it bigger for bigger puppets.

Negative-
Because they only make it one way they can’t make copies of them and it is very time consuming so they can’t make a mistake or they have to start all over again.

They can not communicate because they have a mike strapped onto there chest and so they have to trust in each other so it hard to know what to do even when you have gone over and over you could could forget and you have to very synchronised so if one forget to move it takes away the realness of it. ]]> 2016-11-29 00:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373164 Rina https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373170 Positive 
I think the horses are very realistic and very satisfying to watch.I think its very interesting how they make so realistic. 

Negative
Its realistic but it looked too hard to control it.]]> 2016-11-29 00:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373170 EY B0SS 22boettgerl https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373176 Positive: Persuade you to make it live

Negative: Work together to do a puppet

Need to be as alive as possible witch is hard

Question: How do they work together without talking?

something positive is how much they made it look very realistic and act like a real horse.
My question is How did they know what to do? And how long did it take to practice using the horse?]]> 2016-11-29 00:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373242 Tim 22yuanl1_1 https://padlet.com/macdonalds4/xhfrkginejeq/wish/140373271 Puppets always has to struggle on stage.
There’s a tradition with puppets.
What’s the most important thing in the puppet?
