    Aww, the sandwich is my fave - he's fab! :)

    Corraline Puppets & artistry

    Wow, can't wait to see the movie. It really looks like it's going to be visually (and technically!) amazing.

    Favorite Fraggle?

    As a kid I loved Red, but now I find her a tiny bit annoying! I guess I must have gotten older and grumpier, 'cause now my favourite is Boober. :)

    Taking Your Puppetry To The Next Level

    Thanks for posting about that, it really is inspirational! Lately I've been really trying to just keep practising and keep making videos, even though they're very very far from perfect. Whenever I start worrying too much about trying to get everything 'right', I end up not really doing...

    Ventriloquist Ronn Lucas

    I remember there was a thread on here a while back about ventriloquist Ronn Lucas, and there seemed to be several fans here so I just wanted to warn everyone that if you haven't already seen Ronn's show in Las Vegas, you need to be quick as it will be closing at the end of this month. :cry...

    Our two new puppets

    They look great! Really polished... although I loved Sulfy anyway :)

    Famous Current Left-handers!- What About Puppeteers!

    Ventriloquist Ronn Lucas - left handed but puppeteers right handed (which came in useful on Match Game!) And I'm not sure but I think Jay Johnson is left handed too.

    I'm going to be a puppeteer in Little Shop Of Horrors!

    The pod 4 I used couldn't move easily at all. It was stuck against the back wall too - I was standing behind it, so I was pretty much just stuck there flapping the top of the head. The counterweights made the lipsync easy but overall it was almost impossible to give it any real life.

    Barenaked Ladies music video

    Fab video!

    I'm going to be a puppeteer in Little Shop Of Horrors!

    Oh, absolutely, Blink. I totally agree, we will definitely need to let the company know about the problems we had. I would certainly hope that they would make some changes based on our feedback.

    Rip: Stan Winston

    He truly will be missed. The work he did, even the stuff from years ago, still looks terrific now, better than a lot of the newer CG stuff. I mean, the Jurassic Park dinosaurs look a thousand times better than some of the ones in King Kong. He really was amazing.

    Beer and Puppets?

    That really made me laugh! Also, totally fancy a beer now... :D
