Dinosaurs

Animatronics and Creative Direction...and dinosaurs.


This week, we are all about Dinosaurs!

I think when you have a passion about something, and you've held that passion for a long time, that is something to be celebrated!

Philip Millar loves Dinosaurs. And boy I'm glad he does. He's brought dinosaurs back to life for Polyglot Puppet Theatre, Creature Technology Company and through his own business, Puppetvision.

In this week's episode of Talking Sock, we talk about Philip's history with puppets and his journey in taking Dinosaurs and other larger than life creatures to the next level in entertainment.

As a member of Creature Technology Company, Philip helped develop Walking With Dinosaurs - The Live Experience and also worked as an assistant for Ron Mueck and a sculptor for Patricia Piccinini. Furthermore, he was the co-artistic director of Polyglot Puppet Theatre and started out working with Handspan Theatre.

Philip has found himself looking back on a career filled with creativity and has shown no signs of slowing down. With Puppetvision, he continues to work in building commercial puppets while producing and directing his own shows. What's most impressive, I think, is the versatility and technical skill Philip applies to problem solving using new media.
