THE SUGAR PUFFS HONEYMONSTER

REMOTE OPERATED ANIMATRONICS HEAD ON A SUITED ACTOR.

Honeymonster is now one of the longest running characters on UK television adverts.Most of the Henson Creature Shop top animatronics puppeteers have had stint on old ‘H.M’s’ controls at one time or another over the last 15 years.

I had my period with him on the three years prior to going out to Sydney to film Babe 2. There were shoots with Kevin Keegan in Wembley Stadium , a Rock Concert shoot with Boyzone , and a James Bond pastiche shot on locations around Capetown in South Africa.


 

BRITISH TELECOM THE E.T. CAMPAIGN

MIX OF ANIMATRONIC - CABLE WORK - AND HANDS-0N PUPPETRY.

As far as animatronic puppets go, this one is a Legend. E.T. was flown over from the states, with 2 of Stan Winstons’ puppeteers.The four of us that shot ‘Babe2’ joined them to make up the 6 man team needed to work this one amazing little puppet.I only have pictures from BT literature , as cameras were not allowed anywhere near the ET puppet.

Even shrouded in secrecy, it was nice to operate a Cult figure. Various shoots over a two year period at Shepperton , Pinewood and Elstree sound stages.
