Prep for a video shoot: the characters
Scroll down for News and Notes
All of these figures, except me, are mannequins. They are the size of the characters and dressed as the characters. As of yet, we don't have them in other poses, but they are useful to show the standing height and position for each character in a scene. They are copy-able so we can position multiple copies.
Video production for this series is on the Kitely grid, on a closed set. You can see some of these mannequins up close and personal on the Cookie II world in Kitely. Look in the Writers and Video production zone.
This is how we keep track of the costumes. The people who manipulate the avatars are called avateers since the work is much like the work of the puppeteer. Conveniently, any puppeteer can take the "role" of any avateer. Voices are handled separately.
