The Making Of Nemo

THE MISSION:

Create a PLAYABLE handpuppet of the mascot robot NEMO 2.0 from scratch.
Here is the reference

Requirements:
# The jaw had to be moveable (playable from within).
# The puppet had to be playable from the bottom.
# Torso and head together about 60cm tall.
# Poseable arms.
# Fingers poseable and able to hold things.
# Eyes and battery charge field in magenta (To track them after filming).
# Turnable wind-up key.

Done: 7 out of 7

Options I added:
# Proper eyes and battery charge field, attached with strong magnets.
# A zipper at the back of the neck to be able to play the puppet from behind too.
# Detachable legs to use Nemo as a complete decorative Robot too
# Detachable head.


That is the reason I was so quiet the last three weeks. Nemo was MUCH work.
Wish him luck, for it is planned that he will act in short clips where he works with children on small funny experiments...
