Posted by Michael Martinez on February 18, 2000 at 16:25:34 From: kermit@interlog.com Subject: More & Better "Farscape" Puppets Coming Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 02:19:08 -0500 Organization: Interlog Internet (Toronto) Hello, Actually, not only will there be new puppets, but plans are to improve the previous characters who have been a part of "Farscape". While talking to Space.com, the programís "puppet chief", Dave Elsey revealed that the characters of Rygel and Pilot will be rebuilt, adding, "If weíve done our job properly, people wonít even notice. Our aim is to get the audience to forget theyíre looking at foam latex, and instead experience the puppets as real characters." Elsey goes on to explain what we can expect in the series second season, saying, "Youíre going to be seeing a better, even more believable set of puppets. The lip synching will look better, the cosmetics will be better, everything will be better." More specifically regarding Pilot, Elsey adds, "He will look same, but weíll see more of him. In the first season, he was kind of like a newsreader in that you could almost forget he had legs. That will change this season." Beyond that, there will be even more aliens on the series. Elsey explains, "Weíre also going to meet a whole array of very strange new aliens, and weíve done some very innovative stuff. We have some very big aliens this season, some are 7-8 foot tall bipedals." Take care!
