    Some of my puppets to share

    Hi nemalki. Yes FIMO is a pretty versatile material to work with. You can actually make many different things for your puppets with it. Thanks vertigo. Yes, I have lots of puppets that I have built. You can see more examples of my work on my blog or on my company website. Also, I plan on...

    Content Opninion

    I personally don't see a problem with posting it. If I were you I would have a warning about inappropriate lyrics and note that it is a song by rap artist Kanye West. If you have an image to uphold (e.g. You only do children's entertainment) then you might want to think about the pros and...

    Making small puppets

    I would proably have to add that to my list of "things to do"; which at this point is longer than my arm. Thanks Iokitek. He is approx. 8" (21 c.m.) from the top of his ears to his bottom However I have added a 6" (16 c.m.) sleeve to hide the puppeteers arm, just in case there is some over...

    Thanks Melonpool. I appreciate the thumbs up. Also, very kind of you to say. I hope to post more stuff here and not just on my blog. Yes I know what you mean travellingpat and Buck, I've seen the pictures. It is cool. Yes, the art of puppet design is something that is not as easy as it...

    Cat puppets for a Movie please help!!!

    Bunraku style puppets against a green screen (or blue). Puppeteers wear green suits (much like The Book of Pooh). That would work. Just make sure that the puppets you have do not have too much thin fur coming off their bodies (nothing long). The reason being that the fur will be a...

    Frogtown Hollow's location

    I would have to agree with Infinity Sirius. I have never met anyone from Ontario with those accents. I would say Southern States as well.

    Making small puppets

    Here is a little puppet that I made for a personal project I am developing. Kittie 1 The thing that was challenging for me on this puppet was that I needed the puppet to be much smaller than the other characters, but I don't want to build a rod puppet. I persoanlly don't like the ridgid...

    Disney Fan Puppet

    Does anyone else have any Disney characters that they made into a puppet? I have been setting up my new workshop and I just uncovered one of my earliest puppets. It is Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. The puppet was an attempt to design a puppet from a 2D design from someone else. When...

    Some of my puppets to share

    Hello all, Well it occured to me that so many people are sharing pictures of their puppets. While I try to post information on my blog, I often forget to post stuff I am doing here on Muppet Central. So, here are some pictures. I have a few so I might break it into different posts...

    1/2 Dome Eyes suppliers?

    Just be careful with those ones. I can't tell for sure but those particular eyes seem to have a small "crater" in them. That would seriously limit how you could use them. These are just my initial thoughts and this is only speculation, but, the picture seems to be of something called...

    Lip Synching Technique

    I do that every morning on my drive to work. You can try lip synching to the radio, and use different techniques. For example try moving your hand to every syllable of the song (pretty tricky on fast songs). Then try leaving out a few syllables. Notice how it feels. Obviously in the car...

    How do I get a job as a Muppeteer?

    Yes very true, Some people might say, "well some children push boundaries with adults/Sunday school tecahers as well." This is also true. But think of it this way. If an annoying child (young or old) still doesn't seem to listen to the puppet charcater, your character has the same...

    Chicken Puppets (videos inside)

    I am aware of Jay's work, but I haven't seen the clips before. Very cool. He has done a very good job of mixing good quality CGI with video footage. Thanks for sharing that.

    Muppet Replicas

    Hey pepestarr, That is a great idea! I would love to see a muppet replica from a project puppet pattern. What character would you build? Perhaps the Ovale pattern for Janice? Or Punto for Bert and Ovale for Ernie? The Rotondo for Bunson Honeydew? From someone who has used...

    Courses Of Study In Puppeteering, Film and Television

    Hey Faze, I think that is the best you will find in Toronto (Puppet Mongers). There are often workshops put on by a number of builders, sometimes through Puppet Mongers and sometimes through individual builders themselves. I heard of a course at York that included puppetry, but I don't...

    New Melonpool puppet WIP

    Great work Steve! What did you use to make the eyes (the overall shape)? Also how did you attach the antennas? What are they made out of? I think you made a very good translation from 2D to 3D. Nice.

    Puppetry & Podcasting

    Yes Andrew, Here is a question. Since I have been encouraged to podcast at least one of my projects I realize now that ideas I had, that I knew were hard sells to any broadcaster (since most believe puppetry if just for pre-school show concepts) can be made into a podcast. I am...

    My Bruno Holloween Costume

    Hi CoOKiE, Nope. Sorry. Same problem. As long as the pictures are located in the forum, it would seem that you would need to be a member to view them. I still say that Flickr is probably your best bet.
