Isabella’s Flight: Aerial System for Drone Puppetry

Abstract

This investigation integrates techniques from traditional puppetry and new technology to develop an experimental aerial puppetry performance Isabella’s Flight. This poster presents the creation of two characters, Isabella and El Capitan, and their comic interaction. It describes the in-progress construction, control, and testing of the drone puppets, and discusses our solutions to generate sharper conceptualization, intent, and embodiment in the characters.
