These are the raw materials by which the Henson alchemy is achieved. The three elements of puppeteering are Breath, Eye Focus, and Movement.
If the puppets are breathing, the theory goes, then they must be alive, and if they can look at objects around them, they must have brains. Given the chance to operate a rod-puppet myself, it turns out I am very bad at operating rod-puppets.
