Right, so apart from not sticking to the themes as I was supposed to, I´ve been fighting with the worst weather of summer ever and zero luck to make my concepts realistic.
Originally, I bought the ribbon for a different idea but I couldn´t get to the location I needed, so I hope I´ll make it work some other time.
Fortunately, my brother was in good mood and was kind enough to have a photoshoot with me and levitate a bit :).
Pity it turned out completely awful, perhaps the mistake being I was editing it till 5 a.m. thus my judgement got seriously distorted. The photoshoot was cool nevertheless and at least I tried levitation for the first time ever :).
And finally did one more theme, yay! And finally can go check out the photostreams of certain people, which means I´d better take a couple of days for it given how much I´m behind. Typical, typical.

This is an articulated puppet of a creepy demon Shrek that I've used in a quick stop-motion LEGO animation called "Shrek Eats 2,000 Chicken Nuggets." I came up with the idea for this when I was on the train ride home from work and feeling hungry, and joked to myself that I could eat 2,000 chicken nuggets. Whilst I had that thought, I stumbled upon a funny reference to Shrek on Reddit on my phone, so my brain combined both and came up with the concept for this video.
I first started with building Shrek's head, and the main obstacle was using Technic connectors to allow reciprocating friction in Shrek's mouth movements. I then created the torso and eventually the claw fingers.
In my video, the closeups of the claws grabbing the nuggets were recorded first. Then I shot the main footage of the talking, reaction shots, and laughing. The final shots were the takes of him chewing on the nuggets. Each of those shots reused the same nugget in his claws – and then reused the same chopped-up chicken nugget pieces in his mouth – thus minimizing the amount of chicken nuggets wasted.
For each shot of Shrek opening his mouth, I'd slide in little lime green LEGO wedges in the sides of his mouth; these wedges were of varying sizes, depending on how wide open his mouth was to be. This was a very tedious process, as my standard LEGO puppets could easily open/close their mouths like regular puppets (such as Link). Also, I'd manually remove and swap out different eyes depending on his expression.
Editing the footage was rather straightforward, but the difficult task was recording all of the audio and doing the music. In fact, after the final cut was done, I spent a whole night working on the cover of "Back Door Man" in FL Studio.

People in black operate the puppets. The white figure is the god Ebisu, the god of prosperity in business. He visits a village. The village headman offers the god wine, which gets him drunk. The story plays out as an expression of a human desire for a good and positive life.

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings.
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing.
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream.
I made this to cope with the trauma of Season 4 of Stranger Things. T_T

I met the Puppet Master
The narrow, high-walled passage swallowed the sound of my boot scraping a broken cobblestone, the echo sharp in the dry air. Above, a sliver of unforgiving sunlight cut down, carving deep shadows where the smell of dust and ancient stone now replaced the damp, mossy scent of the gully.
I paused, looking not just at my gloved hand—the leather scuffed from my descent, but at what was attached to it. Thin, nearly invisible lines, like high-tensile wires, stretched from the articulated cuff on my wrist and disappeared into the air above the path. I tracked them with my eyes until they converged on a small, stone figure standing motionless in the centre of the walkway.
It was a crude marionette, barely a foot tall, carved from the same pale, cracked stone as the surrounding walls. Dressed in a simple tunic, its blank, oval face held a radiating sense of expectant waiting. Its arms were held out, palms up.
I held the strings. Yet, the feeling was not one of control. It was as if the strings did not originate from my wrist, but merely passed through it, continuing upwards into the blinding light high above the gully walls.
"Who's the puppet, and who's the master?" I whispered, my voice a dry croak.
My hand twitched, an unbidden reflex. The stone figure jerked forward a fraction of an inch, its miniature boot grating on the path—a jerky, unnatural movement. A cold understanding gripped me: I wasn't controlling the doll; something else was controlling me to control the doll. The "Paraknowing" hadn't stopped its manipulation; it had simply changed its method. I was no longer merely a performer; I was the instrument itself.
The blank-faced stone figure stood there, a silent, pale extension of my own unwilling hand. And from somewhere high above, beyond the reach of my sight, I felt the strings tighten. The show, I realised, was far from finished.
