The Circus, Los Angeles (puppets on film)

In April 2007, I puppeteered on The Circus, an eBaysodeTM (a pitch for eBay that featured toy theatre puppetry and object performance). I was brought on by production designer, Courtney Tuesday Yates and puppeteered with Laurie O’Brien, Kate Brown, and Eli Presser, who served as lead puppeteer. The shoot took place in Chinatown, Los Angeles.
