Puppet manipulation

Puppet manipulation refers to controlling or directing a puppet (or a similar object) to perform actions, typically through strings, mechanical devices, or remote mechanisms. The goal is to create the illusion that the puppet moves naturally and intentionally. Skilled puppeteers use precise timing, tension, and positioning to bring characters to life, conveying stories or emotions. This technique requires understanding the puppet’s mechanics and practice to achieve smooth, convincing movement, making it a powerful way to communicate ideas, entertain, or educate through visual storytelling.
