Papa Vs Pretty’s Wrecking Ball by Guy Verge Wallace

David Knight - 16th Feb 2011

An amazing video by Guy Verge Wallace, a 19 year old student from Sydney who has singlehandedly created a lifesize puppet family consuming a monstrous meal while conducting a war between digital and analogue in the process, for Aussie band Papa Vs Pretty's Wrecking Ball.
