This is an updated video of my latest automaton based on the elegant movements of kyudo - Japanese archery, but with a samurai in armour. In fact the style differs from battlefield archery, but I wanted to mix the elegance of kyudo with making a suit of armour in the style of my other automata.
I make all my automata using found objects and cheap aluminium, copper, brass, tin and thin stainless steel ware from boot fairs and charity shops. If you want to see how I got here and the sort of work I did over 35 years in theatre, film TV, museums, theme parks and sculptures for various artists please go to my website dermotjdoyle.weebly.com
Please have a look at my channel to see more videos of this archer as well as my other automata.
