Hey guys,
So we have been busy working on some programming for a web network that puts out weekly episodes. We sent them a pilot episode and they all loved it and thought it was original for their networks and loved the puppets.
However, they felt that it seemed aged at a younger audience. The good news is that they liked the stuff we sent them so much that they want us to try and redo the pilot to make it aimed more at a college age group.
Now as many of you know puppets are often percieved as only for children. Which makes me and many others very sad. The few puppet shows that are aimed at adults do so by using lots of swears or sex. I would like to change this show slightly to make it more for adults. The ideas I have come up with so far are to change the voices to a more natural sounding voice opposed to cartoon and to change the set to look like a punk rock band members room or a college dorm room. If you guys have any other ideas please let me know.
I would also love it if you would point out some succesful adult puppetry that you like. I am a big fan of Gordon's TVTV and apollo's pad too. I would like to try and go down that path but in my own way.
But, I really want to stay from stuff like this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlbKprH61AE It is well executed just I don't feel I need to swear to get laughs.
Thanks I appreciate the help.
