    Puppet Building Feedback

    Very nice work! Do you have video of your puppets "in action"?

    Any other obsessions?

    I'll say that I have a keen interest in cryptozoology. So much so that the characters in my puppet show are a sea serpent, a sasquatch (the worlds smallest!!!), and a space alien. Although I have never gone searching for cryptids, I do enjoy reading about them. I love the work of Loren...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Although I am listed as a "new member" I have been a MC member for years. I took a few years "off" when our children were born in 2004 and 2007. They are a bit older now (5 and 7) and my puppet show is gradually growing from a little hobby to performing it live at schools, libraries, museums...

    Do you perform your puppet show live?

    Just curious who out there in MC land are puppeteers who perform live in front of an audience? I love performing for children and their families. My puppet show was created bit by bit while I entertained my two children to eventually take it "on the road". Most of my shows are at libraries...

    Tips for performing live with puppets

    Hi Byn, I started performing live in late 2010, I am by no means an expert, just a guy who makes & loves puppets. A few things I have learned from my shows in the last year; Use a sound system if you have one. I often perform outdoors, and found that as loud as I am... a fire truck is...

    Teaser video I made

    Thanks for your kind comment Byn. "G'Wazzl" is an alien who decided to visit the Earth when he heard an old radio broadcast of a Doris Day song. He learned that she was from Cincinnati, and hasn't left - nor has he found Miss Day. He is slowly learning bits of English, yet not too much. I...

    New Video: The Muppets Face One Big Problem

    I agree with Drtooth, Roger Langridge's comics were GREAT! He "got" it. Please keep in ming folks, I WANT to LOVE this film, yet from the clips I've seen so far I just have not been "WOW I MUST SEE THAT!" yet. I've been a Muppets fan since 1969, I am a puppeteer because I love the Muppets, I...

    New Video: The Muppets Face One Big Problem

    I wish I was kidding. I am hesitant to drop $9+ to see this film after what I have read about it, and watching the trailer. Perhaps I am too attached to the old show that I love so much. I will eventually see the film, yet the advance material that I have seen is just not grabbing me like I...
