The recent video of the Cute-a-killer was shot over the summer, mostly during MJ's days off work. Along with operating the camera, MJ puppeteered the Cute-a-killer using marionette sticks (aka "fishing rods")...

Thank you for your multiple talents, MJ! And thank you all for the shared experience of encountering the Cute-a-killer!
