- (50:36) "Eusas face cant change its all ways the same but when youre watching him move a roun ... the torch fires shimmying and all hewl look pernear any way hes talking"
For rigid puppets that are meant to be seen up close, puppeteers often rely on asymmetry and exaggerated lighting; small movements can thus make the face very expressive. Eusa is later said to be "not boath sides the same" and even the Littl Shynin Man is divided asymmetrically.
