My wife helped with the camera on location shots. It's all basic prosumer gear. Camera moves are powered by Lego motors unspooling thread to Lego carts running on dollar-store broomsticks. Smoke machine is my son's party gadget. <br /><br />Diana, Mr. Kooks does leave droppings here and there and nibbles on sketches, but he's a good pal.

Amazing.<br /><br />Your budgie pal on your shoulder made me think of Merlin's Archimedes.
