Overview

Description

A man is showing his friend his new DirecTV set up that no longer requires unsightly wires, when his marionette wife comes in bringing the men lemonade. The man's friend gets very uncomfortable after he realizes that in bad talking wires, he may have inadvertently insulted his friend's wife.

Execution

We needed to find actors who could actually be puppet like (mime abilities) and then be able to deliver the lines comedically. The actors studied the action played out by real marionettes as well. They then would be computer generated in post. The artists would use many of their actions to guide them.
