The Process Genii Has Used To Create More Than 5,000
Marionettes
Here are steps in the creation process showing the
latest celebrity marionette of Ellen Degeneres. Enjoy!
|
Step 1: In the beginning. . .
Genii models a
clay head of the subject that she designs
using photos and video clips. |
Step 2: Genii pours
mannequin
rubber
into the plaster mold. |
|
Step 3: Genii Pulls the raw
head out of the mold. |
Step 4: Genii shapes and sands
the head and hands.
|
|
Step 5: Genii paints the face
and makes
it ready for eyes. |
Step 6: Genii creates the body
and
then costumes the marionette. |
|
Step 7. Then Genii "Wigs Out"
and adds hair.
|
Step 8: Genii strings the marionettes. (The reason
there are two marionettes is that the Imagination Center gifts the
celebrity with one and the other one is used to raise funds for
charity.) |
