A Music Video with Cowboys, Bar fights and Puppet Heartbreak

6/2/2015

 
In March 2014, puppeteer Kay Yasugi got on the puppet band wagon to film a music video for the Aussie folk duo Busby Marou to release their new song “A Second Mistake”. The film was directed by Renny Wijeyamohan (Open Door Films) and in case you may be feeling a little déjà vu, the puppets in the video are the very same ones that Kay made for a little Aussie doco about the Herpes virus on “Dating the H*Bomb” in 2012.  They were revamped (and re-wigged) for a big adventure involving lots of different film locations (which roughly translates as Kay operating the puppets while lying in the middle of a field, a saloon and even perched near a cliff). A highlight was staging a rather amusing puppet brawl with another (live actor) cowboy (who actually happened to be really nice off screen). That, and Michael (the green puppet who stars in the video as “Woody”) getting to show off the fruits of his puppet gym workouts (which he was pretty pleased about).

The film was also nominated for an ARIA Music Award for Best Video in 2014.

Here is a post about the video (which includes an interview with Busby Marou) on Yen Magazine
