So I built this lion... Here is my Aslan Costume Build for a school's production of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Was a 3 week (on and off) build from start to finish.
It has LED eyes & mane (orange eyes then white eyes when the mane lights up), cooling fans for each actor, camera in the nose and monitor in the head for vision, swishing tail controlled by the rear actor and full leg mobility, all controller by two people.
The design is as if he has leapt from the page of a book, like a living sketch, hence some pages of words from the story in his mane. Main construction inspiration was taken from the War Horse show puppet. If you haven't seen that have a Google for it or head over to ted.com and look for the talk on it there, amazing stuff.
Here are my lion photos:

On stage photos to follow soon...
Hope this is a good area to post this in and hope you like it
