Baby Looney Tunes Video Series

Rick Lyon with Baby Bugs puppet
I recently worked on a home video series featuring puppets of the Baby Looney Tunes characters. At left, you can see I puppeteered Baby Bugs Bunny. We also did the dialogue live, but that will only serve as a guide track, and will be replaced by voice actors. Too bad -- I think I was getting pretty good at doing Bugs.
"Neh, what's up, Doc?"

At right, performing "Neh, what's up, Doc?" The whole thing was shot in front of a green screen, which will be replaced in post with cartoony drawn backgrounds. The other puppets were Baby Tweety and Baby Taz. They were absolutely lovely puppets visually, but they had some serious design flaws that made them hard to puppeteer.
