Today one of the puppets had to ride a bike through a scene which involved screwing three of our rollie carts together. Two of them supported Thor, and one had a kids bike screwed to it. A twenty-foot pole pushed the whole shebang through the frame. The only problem was that we couldn’t back the puppet far enough out of shot, because of the pole, for him to be in the right place for one of the live actor’s eyelines to make sense. So in order to create the idea that the puppet came from far away, they handed me a pink bathrobe to hold at the height the puppet’s head would be, and then had me run with it and touch the puppet’s back, at which point the puppet would move forward at the same speed I had been travelling. I’m sure to an outside observer it was very strange.
