For Turner-Gametap at E3 games conference

This really fun live digital puppetry project for Turner Networks GameTap brought the infamous Space Ghost to life for three days of mayhem on the E3 game conference floor. To produce the effect, using onadime composer I sampled and remixed three seasons of Space Ghost episodes into one of the first multi-camera ONamation live characters. Then three days in a sound booth with George Lowe, one of the wackiest voice talents ever, working to tune the heavy bass coming from the E3 game conference show floor apart from his live voice improv. Puppeteers Dave Barclay and Bruce Lanoil (Star Wars, Roger Rabbit, Muppets) follow his lead, picking from over 70 different available character attitudes, actions, and cutaways to other show characters, inserts, and show titles. This ONamation system let us create a continuous live and off-the-cuff version of the Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast show.
