Purvin uses metre tall puppets, he operates the head and the hands with his hands and by using slippers and shoes, that are easy to slip on and off, he manages to control the feet as well. He also uses a belt with a hook and clip to support the weight of the puppet. One belt is around the puppets waist and the other is around the puppeteer waist. They clip together to keep the puppet and the puppeteer close together.
* Imagine the eyes of the puppet are a touch and you have to shine the light onto the thing that you are interacting with and want the audience to look at. This way the audience follows the eyes of the puppet instead of looking at the puppeteer.
* The puppet must always be kept moving. No movement takes the life from the puppet and the audience will stop believing in the puppet.
When making a puppet, start with the story of the person. The characters are based on real people and imagination, always start with the face.
