    Puppets, Kids' Only Entertainment?

    Nicely said. Pardon the pun, but it really is in the hands of the puppeteer. I like it when you see things that play with convention. Like buck mentioned the deconstruction thing. Greg the Bunny was right up my alley, cause I'm used to the muppet looking characters, I believe them, and...

    Moving Muppet Faces

    Well then I don't know what the point of this thread was. Just about every muppet has one little trick, Yes . I was merely pointing out that Pepe's head flips up, thats his one thing, (because his head is too small for anything else) the same way all the others have blinking eyes and stuff.

    Using webcam for puppet monitor

    That second line was necessary. I don't appreciate you making some snide little assumption about me, ok? Secondly, I like to plan something out to be as effective as possible, It does not make sense to ME to do it the way "everyone else does it". Its not a natural reflex to do something...

    Using webcam for puppet monitor

    I've been trying to figure out how to make my tv a monitor with my camera.

I figure Television monitors are mirrored right...

    How do I...

    Yeah, just from a problem solving point of view, I think the challenge would be to make those big eyes expressive like the drawings. Because they're big and flat, it would be difficult. Eyelids would be a pain, because they'd have to work more like blinds, rather than eyelids, and same with...

    Pepe's Mouth and Head Operation

    Every mech Ive seen, has an up-down lever action. But if I'm grasping the rod, or whatever you want to call it, upright, and I extend my index finger, it doesn't really do an Up-down movement.It's seems like it would be hard to animate a mouth like this. I know the real pepe has a string with...
