Fearzilla
October 30, 2010
My friends Serra Hirsch and Sarah Lafferty and I had the honor of building and performing the Fearzilla puppet in Comedy Central and the Colbert Report‘s Washington D.C. Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear on October 30th, 2010.
This 12’ pageant puppet, sculpted in the likeness of Stephen Colbert was made up of mostly papier mache built over a re-used hiking backpack. The mouth, operated by the puppeteer wearing the torso on her back, was able to lip sync along with Stephen as he preached his sermon.
