Love Poem by a Robot -Polymer Clay / Puppet Show
Greetings!
I’ve just finished my first high-quality puppetry video! I’m so happy with how this turned out.
Here is Nostalgia the Robot Puppet performing the love poem, “Take Me to the Jukebox.”
An enchanting robot puppet reads a romantic love poem with the help of stop-motion animation and cardboard-crafted sets. Nostalgia the robot puppet is a polymer clay and mixed-media sculpture that I crafted for my surreal & weird poetry/performance art projects.
“Take Me to the Jukebox” is a love poem I wrote for my wonderful girlfriend. I’ve been wanting to make a puppetry version of it for months, but finally developed the skills and ideas to put this together.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at my film setup:
I’m so happy with the cardboard sets and the stop-motion animation. I have a lot of ideas on how to make more intricate sets and animation in the future. I’m thinking that I can make one sculpting video and two puppetry/poetry videos a month.
The music for the intro and outro is “Andy’s Imaginarium” by the amazing Kallie Marie (https://www.kalliemarie.com). It’s a song I commissioned from Kallie years ago and only used a few times. I’m happy that I now get to weave the song into these more high-quality videos that I’m making now.
This is my second professional-level video. The first one I just published a couple of weeks ago - it’s a 10-minute sculpting tutorial of how to build a mixed-media robot with polymer clay.
Leave a comment and let me know what you thought of the poem and video! And make sure to subscribe to my newsletter to keep updated on my projects.
Until next time,
Andy
