Second Elder Puppet

PUPPET • PREVIEW Press Play to start the interactive puppet.

Description

The Second Village Elder is another concept character being developed for the upcoming third part of The Archer’s Journey. Like the First Elder, he is part of the village community, but his design explores a different personality, silhouette, and physical presence within the story.

This virtual puppet is being used to experiment with how the Second Elder might move and perform onstage. His walking motion, arm and staff movement, entrances, exits, and glowing aura help test different possibilities for the character before the next part of the play is completed.

Here, you can explore the Second Village Elder as an early character study and test the movement ideas being developed for his possible appearance in The Archer’s Journey.
