Puppet mechanisms and my final illustration

The link below links to the YouTube video that I am inspired by to make my Wind In the Willows nose mask, move.

Although this is pretty self explanatory, I have essentially sketched out the mechanism you see on the YouTube video that I have used to inspire. I have the later decided that which part is relevant to make the actual nose of my mask twitch. This being, the spring mechanism.

The spring mechanism is going to be pulled and let go so hands are mainly free thoughtout the preformance, which then will allow the preformed to move easily. The spring will spring up and down creating a vibration on the nose of the mask.

The spring will be situated very close to the neck where there is empty room in the mask, that will nose cause any inconvenience. The spring will be attached by the string which enables the performer to tug on and allow the nose to vibrate. 

My final wind in the willows illustration is one I did earlier in the project; because this one was my strongest illustration. I decided to put him a blazer on because that's he style of jacket that The original illustrations ŵere of. I also, as part of my "cat walk" model of him, I have Sarah a blazer very similar to how I illustrated it, but I didn't give her it in pink.

I chose pink for this illustration of Mole because it's a subtle colour, typically represented as a "feminine" colour, being stereotypically shown as not-so-confident, less important (well, mainly previous in society as appose to modern society) and quiet. Mole is frequently presented to be a timid, frightened character as he has not really socialised outside of his home and garden. But, however, later on in the story, Mole gains confidence which I presented through his Bold orange trousers, somewhat to make a statement. 

 

However, on this specific illustration I didn't update the later illustration of how I would make Moles nose twitch.
