In my opinion, the first clip was the best. The eyes more than anything else make Percy live.

In the second clip, I wanted Percy to smack himself on the head -- as if to say, "What was I thinking?!"

...And, of course, I had to try a walk cycle. Trying to make things a little more interesting, I dressed up the set a bit with stuff I got from Loose Ends back in January, and had the camera shoot from above.

Problems:

After all the effort that went into making this puppet, it's hard not to be a little disappointed as I discover design flaws. Still, the point is to learn -- and I can't complain on that account. I learned a helluva lot making this guy.
