Designed and Built by Brandon Hardy, this video shows the process from design to execution of the "Pod 4" Audrey II for a production of Little Shop of Horrors.
A Bag o’ Chips there’s a film about it too- Also the plant seems to indetify as a mama but us a very male voice- There just- a lot of questionable things Thought I guess the plant thing make sense since plants are both genders
I mean, there’s also a musical and movie about a transvestite alien who takes advantage of and pretty much rapes a young couple while also finding the secret of life but it’s a cult classic and everyone loves it and no one questions it.
I wouldn’t be to sure about that man, I know this is for a live production but a few years ago I went to the Comic Con in my neighboring state and they had one of the original puppets from movie
They out these kind of puppets up for rent most of the time, so maybe it might appear in a community production near you! That happened with a puppet I liked
I did prop crew for this play in highschool, and let me tell you, our 'Audrey 4' was a beautiful, vibrant, big lipped beauty. Everytime we had to shove the puppeteer in there I admired that thing. I mean - it was major levels of gorgeous
Which one is worse? One eats you but then it’s all over... the other will ruin your reputation to the point that some people would actually like it if you died.
Seymour Krelborn - I don’t have any that I can post to RU-vid. I would be in big trouble, but you can snapchat me and I can see what videos I have. @calebkelahan
In my school play I got the honor of puppeteering the right side of the vines. It was larger than the Broadway version. We got to climb into it before we deconstructed it. It was awesome!
I worked with a company that did this show in the past, what they did for Audrey 2 was have a giant bud that opened up and an actress dressed like poison ivy would be inside and sang all the songs.
Cool work. Especially how the design still allows it to eat the "Players" while still moving up and down. The last production I saw of this, the set designers decided to break tradition and not do the traditional "flytrap". Instead, Audrey II was more of a bulb-like plant with a large leaf-like blade over the top of its head. The biggest difference for that one was that they gave the puppets eyes, so Audrey II could actually look around and be a bit more expressive in that way. (For "Pod 4", they did another interesting trick and got four different grade schoolers into full-body "tendril" costumes that connected to the main plant, allowing Audrey II to thrash around realistically.)
@@tanimation7289 For the movie? No that was all actual size. The only time they sort of trick the viewer with sizes is that shot after "Grow for me" where you see Audrey 2 actually start to get bigger in their can.
@@tanimation7289 Well with the film they managed to get away with it because they recorded the singing and mouth movements very slowly and then sped it up. Which is why Seymour might move a little odd during Audrey's singing. He's moving extra slow. You can't really do that with live productions
I’m really excited as I’m in a upcoming production of little shop of horrors as one of the Audrey 2 puppeteers. So I’m hoping for the production I’m in to have a awesome puppet like this
My school is doing this musical and I’m auditioning to play Audrey II, I have no idea how they’ll do the puppet since I’m not in theater tech but I do hope I get the part!
THAT LOOKS SO COOL HOLY SHII-- Been considering getting into puppet making and stuff and i LOVE these kinds of videos, you truly can do anything if you know how to make a good puppet huh--
Thank you so much!! If you’re interested, I have a full half hour long video on my Patreon of how I made a set of flying Sanderson Sister puppets from Hocus Pocus - it’s a different kind of puppet making, but it’s a really in-depth tutorial with lots of tips and tricks!
You know what I’ve always wondered but can’t find an answer for anywhere? What happened to the Audrey 2 puppet after they finished filming the movie of Little Shop of Horrors? Did it get destroyed, or is it just rotting away in a warehouse somewhere? They should put it in a museum, I want to see that thing up close.
Pod 3 (Feed Me! puppet) is on Display at a Frank Oz museum,altough the fate of the others remains unknown. Pod 2 (Grow for me) was sold on Etsy for 1.200 dollars a few years ago meanwhile a different pod 2 is in the same museum as pod 3 Pod 4 (Suppertime) was most likely taken apart/scrapped Pod 5 (Sominex,Bad,Mean green mother) rotted away in a warehouse most likely The whereabouts of the 3 giant Audreys are unknown to this day
The plant is a bit pink 💗 and is quite cold 🥶 but the water is still have a few water 💧 and a few of the water will not work with the water and water tank is required 😀 to use the water tank to the tank and the water will come
Got to see this production. It was about as close as you can realistically get to recreating the movie for a theatrical live performance. And people do go inside of this things mouth.
The Audrey 2 pod 3 from my school literally on the floor. The upper part is complete but then the bottom part is flat and then seeing how other schools do make ours seem like trash
The main theme is how a nice person becomes corrupt. You watch Seymour slide from harmless, kind, gentle man, to indifference to (an admittedly bad) person's plight, to straight-up murder to protect and enrich himself. In the end, he loses everything. All the other themes in the show are incidental. The physical abuse and drugs aren't great, but to pretend that high school kids haven't seen that in their own lives or those of their friends, is naive.
is there any chance i could get a list of materials for the pod 4? I am in charge of gathering materials for the it and i really need a little help it would be very helpful 😭🙏
