    Hello John,

    My fabrication team and I have hit a bit of a wall trying to engineer a practical horse puppet for our upcoming film, and your forum post seems to hold the exact solution we are looking for. Unfortunately, the Google Drive links containing your PDF manual and construction photos are currently locked.

    To give you some context, I am producing an independent fantasy feature called Kunes: The 13th Cycle here in Kazakhstan. We are heavily committed to capturing practical, in-camera effects rather than defaulting to CGI. However, because we are operating on a strict independent budget and principal photography begins this June, we simply do not have the runway for weeks of structural trial and error.

    Your modified backpack-frame design is exactly what we need to pull this off.

    Would you be willing to update the sharing permissions on your Google Drive folder, or email the manual directly? Having your documentation as a starting point would be a massive asset to our art department right now.

    Thanks for putting your work out there, and I hope to hear from you.

    Best,

    Alik Tolembek
