hey that's a cute little cat :) I especially like the beady eyes. very charismatic.

That was a really cool movie :) I'd compliment you on everything but it's all been said already. Great job! I can't wait to get a real camera myself.

hmmm I should get one of those portable mp3 players then. I have a headset instead of a fixed microphone. And so the only way I can do it is to listen to the audiofile while lipsyncing to it. And then afterwards add the audiofile to the video in the proper timeframe. But I guess it can still be...

yeah, nice puppet :) I especially like the idea of overlapping pieces of cloth

I've also just started out puppeteering. And I'm not very good at it. But I just keep going at it. I'm already making my next puppet for the next idea. This one will have arms though unlike the previous ones. In case you want to know how to manipulate the arms there's abit on that here...

Thanks for bringing it back up again Andrew. I was already wondering where it went. Does this mean there will also be an annual puppetbuilding contest again?

hmmm maybe you don't have the Google Video Player installed. But yeah YouTube seems like a much better spot for them. Perhaps I'll upload them there soon. But I want my next clips to be a little bit more entertaining and a little more rehearsed ;) These aren't really worth the trouble uploading...

I'm in :) sure why not, but I need someone else to give me an audio file though. Maybe put it up for download somewhere.

I had the same problem :) So I just use Google Video

New Hat, No Limbs Blues - My prototype puppet sings the blues and Freestyle Rappin' with Daddy Sack - Session 1 - My Flow They are still lousy quality because I hadn't found out how to focus yet when I made them. And as you can see I have other things to work at aswell. But other than that...

heh :p well that's good advice. But unfortunatelly it's impossible with my sockpuppets. But I still think it looks ok the way I do it now. I do have a muppety puppet and on that it doesn't look as good when the head bobs back and forth all the time. So maybe it depends on the puppet.

Well I don't mean to stir up a disussion or anything. But I agree to a certain extent with practicecactus. The forum-archives are pretty big and extensive as some of you already indicate yourselves. Sometimes the titles of the posts aren't exactly clear on where the actual conversation leads to...

I also just started out with puppeteering for my own videos actually. And although I have no experience I don't really have that much problems staying on cue. But I tried lip symcing before and actually found that harder. Maybe that is because it's not my voice and it confuses me or something...

Yeah I noticed that too :( But well... there's not really much I can do about that. And if there is I haven't figured out how yet. I did find the focus by turning the lens though :o I actually just found this out this weekend. So I'm going slow but getting there. Anyway I have never...

I got a new PC this week and I thought I'd test some things out so I made a video with my sockpuppet prototype. Never mind the quality though. I just shot it with a cheap webcam because I'm still saving up for a DV Camcorder. And I'm still trying to figure out how all those editing programs...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the melonpool puppets are some of my most favorite puppets out there. I just love the way you've tranlated 2D to 3D. Something I've been working on (and thinking about) for a long time now. I really like how those black outlines on the eyes look...

Thanks for the replies everyone, I've decided to fool around with my sister's camera for awhile first and save up money for a DV cam perhaps. I haven't decided yet. But this way I can get used to editing first without wasting good money on a medium quality camera and save up the money for a...

I've been playing guitar for a number of years now and I've checked out alot of info about finger excersises. It seems to me that when you're working with rod puppets pulling and pushing switches all the time you actually need your fingers. But when you're just performing a handpuppet I agree...

I really like this idea :) and the video too. So I'd love to show Timmy around Amsterdam sometime if you want me to. I can go visit a coffeeshop and the red light district aswell as Anne Frank's house and the Van Gogh Museum just to name a few things. I could also have him interact with one of...

Thanks for the reply Danny :) Well I'm still doing some research. Maybe I'll buy a cheap cam first. I don't know yet. My digital camera also has the option to shoot short clips. But they can only be 10 seconds wich just isn't enough for me. Your clip looked and sounded ok to me actually...
