Hi all, I have a question for anyone with an opinion. I have had a few conversations with people and it seems that there are only two types of thinking regarding puppetry on television. The first is that puppets (especially the fleece, soft, cartoon looking puppets) and only for...

Hi dBarrie, What a cool experience! I'm sure people would love to see the picutre. I know I would! A far as I know, Terry has not been doing much recently with JHC, however he has other projects on the go. He drops a line now and agian in the Puppetry forum. Hey Terry are you out...

Hello all, I just thought people might want to check out Terry Angus' new ape puppet that is up for sale on ebay. I think it is an excellent likeness to the ape charcters from the movies. What do people think? - Blink :)

Hi Larry, Not yet. The film has just been submitted to a bunch of festivals and I haven't heard back yet. If it goes online I'll be sure to post the link. The camera they used was just an early model Canon DV camera, but just last night I was speaking with someone who indeed...

Actually I don't get them to blink from the inside, the mech I use is the same as one posted here on the forum some time back (I'm too lasy to find it right now). If you want an idea on how to make a blinking mech on the inside check out this here. It is a pretty cool site with some great...

That sounds like an awsome experience. I know Handenmonium Puppets, they are excellent. What was done with the film? What were the puppet characters? Thanks for the compliment on the puppets. Catching the bug is very easy. Have you had a chance to work on any puppet video/film...

Hi all, Here is some information on a puppet video short that I was a part of this past summer. It was great fun and was done on a very cost effective budget. http://www.web.net/~carmengillespie/GTHD/Carmen-Film-GTHD.html Shot on digital video camera, the space was borrowed, the...

Billy, I think Buck has the right idea, in that contacting Marlene Reimer directly would be your best course of action. I have never personally tried on one of Marlene's puppets, but just last night I spoke with someone who bought one from her. It was a very basic puppet and I...

Hi Everyone, I just posted this thread in another section, but I just saw an Elmo replica puppet on EBAY. It looks really well made! I know there are major issues around copyright violations, but I am really just looking at the quality of the puppet. It is going for $500 US; a little...

Hi everyone, There is a replica Elmo Puppet for sale on Ebay. There is no information on the builder, but the puppet looks of very good quality. This too has issues of copyrights written all over it, but I do not want to get in to that here. Check it out...

Super Scooter, I've just emailed you. - Blink:)

Super Scooter: Thanks for the support in the idea that he does NOT look like Kermit. I have since added fangs (actually one), and black nostrils, which gives him a meaner look. I'll try to take pictures of him and get some feedback on how he looks now. I am very interested in seeing a...

Thanks for the feedback gang! Andrew: To find oout about the button you might have to be "bad" and ignore the warning. Tztz: Thanks, yes I do build puppets with moving and blinking eyes (Check out "ZEEK"), no animatronics yet (I am exploring it though). Jamie: Thanks. The website...

Hello Everyone, I want to launch my new website, and what better place to get feedback than at Muppet Central. I am a puppet builder in Toronto, Ontario, CANADA and examples of my work can be seen at: www.chensational.com I would really appreciate any feedback from people, on things...

I try to be very cautious when I am building my own puppets. I made a character over a year ago that whenever someone saw they would say "Oh I love Kemit!" or "He is my favourite Muppet." My first reaction was to speak up and point out that Kernit did not have red on his eyes or body and...

Thanks for the info Tom. I would be very interested in seeing the diagrams/drawings of the process when you have them available. Maybe you can post them sometime soon. Thanks again, Blink

Ya punkNpuppets, Noreen Young has some amazing puppets. At first $1000 CAN may seem like a lot but you must think of it in these terms. You are commitioning a one of a kind sculpture (all be it foam and rubber). You ever see how much some paintings go for? Geeeez, I couldn't imagine...

Hey Tom75, Great bed of information, thanks for the post. One question that I have always wonderer about with having a "Core Out Mold" is...after you have put the plasticine inside your outer mold, and poured the the plaster inside the plasticine of the "outer mold" (so that you now...

It worked for me too (very cool puppets/characters), on my computer. However, when I used a different computer (one with a slower modem connection) it did not work. I am not sure if this is the reason it did not work initally for me. Again wonderful characters. Are you a professional...
