The puppetry here I worked on was at a wonderful company called Erth. I had the pleasure of learning about mechanisms, sculpture, scenic, design and even got to perform a little in one of their carnivorous dinosaurs called the Australovenator.
Check out their work, theres a lot of great stuff.
The Australovenator.
The performer has complete control over all head mechanisms, arms and even wears a headset which is tuned to replicate the vicious sounds of this beast. The trickiest part of this project was making him light enough for the puppeteer.

A puppeteer would operate the Tinanosaur from the head, complete with mouth and eye blinking mech.
