"In this clip, we're going to talk about weight. Weight is really hard with small puppets, so I'd like to start to thinking about your own weight. Where is the center of your weight? If you drop it, it seems heavy. Whereas if you pull up the center of your weight, you seem very, very light. We can use this with some of these large puppets. There's a lot of different kinds of puppets like these heavy or light. These puppets are not small. They're very, very large and they're kind of like big bird puppets. They incorporate the body of the puppeteer while you're using them."
