Last month our magnificent 13-foot-tall Sea Giant puppet went on a new adventure and guest starred in Irish recording artist Amy Michelle’s latest music video ‘Patience’. The video was directed by Max McLachlan with the concept devised by Amy after seeing the original performance of the puppet, Eko. She knew instantly she wanted Eko in her video representing childhood fears, and trust, and encouraging you to embrace fearful thoughts and trust your instincts when it comes to complex relationships.
Also, we would like to say a special thanks to our whole team that made this happen, the amazing performers: Cameron Everitt, Francis Hickman, Laura Kenyon, Mathew Prince Chambers & Oliver Davis, as well as Eko’s creator Mr Cleaver’s Monsters
