I love it when a great thread like this is abuzz with activity on this forum... it seems to be a ghost town a lot of the time... such a shame considering the puppet community is growing and growing. cc

That explains it!! Thanks so much for the info! cc

Cool cool... thats what i assumed... however...how do you get the "curled" look? is there a process? Thanks! cc

Awesome to finally see your zoot!!! I was just curious what you used to do the hair? I once had a debate with someone on what to use...but you absolutely nailed it!! cc

You can also have a second puppeteer control the prop while you control the arm... it takes some practice...but can look really good.... We actually used to do this method alot on our live shows... characters were always playing saxaphones or drinking slurpees...and we would control it all with...

Something weve used on a couple props is a thin dowel painted black attached to the prop with glue or tape (usually on the underside). When held simultaneously with the armrod at the right angle u can control both the arm and the object which is normally breaching the bottom of the screen...

Another great puppet!! Fantastic work! cc

He's great!!! cc

Absolutely!! We are also lucky to live in an age where a 1000 dslr puts out a better looking product than the first season of sesame street. lol... imagine if we had to pay what they paid for equipment. cc

Well... i wouldnt recommend those super cheap ones they sell on amazon for 10 -20 dollars... i hear they cause image issues. I honestly feel that i went a bit cheap with the tiffin... but i , like you, was tired of spending even more money...lol... it sucks doesnt it... you buy one thing and...

Thanks so much!! I agree about sound... there are so many puppet series on youtube that have so much potential...but the sound ruins it for them. As for your issue with the neon puppets... something you might want to do is invest in a variable ND (nuetral density) filter. I picked up a tiffen...

That zoom is a nice piece of equipment... i went a little cheaper with the tascam d40 because i had to buy 2 of them (fellow voice actor and co creator lives 4 states away now...lol) We use a Blue Yeti pro for our studio voice recording and a Rode ntg 2 for the studio boom. We record all the...

Well i think the results are wonderful! We shot our first episode on a canon 60d but i recently picked up a Sony fs100 which we will be shooting on from now on... my greatest frustration was the way our monitors screen displays squashed every time we hit record... its a weird thing that some...

Hi Jared!! i mustve missed this back when it was posted! Series looks great so far!! Good luck with the future!! If I wasnt neck deep with the budget for our own series I would help out! cc

Can I ask what kind of equipment/camera you're using.. mainly because i enjoy talking shop...hahhaa

I think its fantastic! The visual and sound quality is great and its a solid lesson for kids. We struggle with all the issues you mentioned and have learned to accept most of them for the time being. It's fun...and thats what's important. Until Nick Jr. is giving either of us a big budget it's...

I found a funny little interview we did years ago when our puppet theater was open. The puppets come out during the second segment...feel free to fast forward...hahaha... it wasnt the most ideal set to puppet... they had us hidden but then would jump around to different camera angles and ruin...

That's a great story!! And a wonderful puppet!! cc

Just realized i am allready a subscriber!! YAY!! and now ive got your theme song stuck in my head! lolol cc

Fantastic post Gabe!! So many points i want to touch on and comment on...so bare with me! Firstly... you are so right about the support of social media friends. Yesterday morning i posted a silly photo of myself as a baby and received 70 likes in a 24 hour period... however...when i post our...
