Terrorizing puppet

Hi guys,

I'm totally blown off. Check out this cool puppet video of a puppet terrorist named Ahmad. This puppeteer is just brilliant. Check out the eyes..... it leads the motion and shows every single thought coming in to the brain of the character, and it looks like he is really using his brain to think. Wow, brilliant stuff for animators, and so much to learn. Thanks YouTube!! Enjoy..... YAY!!!!!!!!
