Crabs
(Callinectes sapidus)

We have two Blue Crabs, one male and one female that are about the size of a dinner plate and a large Shrimp or Prawn. The crabs are cable and rod contolled with fine arm movement including claws animation. The lower legs are attached to the base and give the illusion of the bodies being motivated by the legs when rod puppeteered from below. The eyes on stalks are radio controlled and they have moving mouths. The shrimp is a rod puppet with moving body and mouth. There are also insert crab claws for close up shots. The crab paint may be altered if need be. All are available for rental as a complete package or as individual elements needed to achieve the desired effect.
