Yeah, I could try that. I didn’t want the AT-AT to do too much, because I didn’t want people’s eyes to be drawn to it and not at the Luke puppet, but a little more movement probably wouldn’t hurt.
Maybe give Luke a bit more animation up and down aswell? My eye is naturally drawn to the AT-AT anyway. The design is magnificent.
If the hand is an issue could you play the close up source backwards? I could try to roto it if you feel it’s an issue.
