Hey I have a question... I have this idea for shooting a regional commercial for a construction company (just an idea though, I still need to pitch it to my partner in crime and then the company itself). I need two puppets for this. And they are supposed to wear construction helmets and perhaps...

I didn't read the whole story concept because I have to go and I type faster than I read. But I completely agree that puppets have a certain feel to them that characters such as Gollum miss. That's why 'they' made Book Of Pooh with puppets instead of doing it in 3D. I believe this also works for...

Great! :) Thanks alot!

Ooh :concern: That's expensive... Well I guess I'll have to expect that for rare stuff.

I don't know if this is old news already. But I just thought I'd share it anyway. These are the three titles coming out on DVD according to Play.com: Jim Henson's Mother Goose: Hickory Dickory Dock & Other Stories http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=532659&p=57&g=72 Jim...

Ah I see :) Sometimes the VPRO scared me with programs like Spitting Image and Theo en Thea. It was just too gross at times. I'm trying to catch up to the past again though. By buying old shows on DVD. Such as Paulus de Boskabouter, Bolke de Beer, Fabeltjeskrant etc. They were never any...

I noticed the Dutch SS puppets were mentioned. But not the human actors. So I looked them up for you. here they are: Elvan: Elvan Akyildiz. Frank: Frank Groothof. Sien: Sien Diels. Paula: Paula Sleyp. Aart: Aart Staartjes. Gerda: Gerda Havertong. Lot: Lot Lohr. Hakim: Hakim...

How were you able to watch this then while living in the Netherlands? Was it aired here then? I've never even heard of it before.

Well unfortunately I live in The Netherlands so I would never be able to attend something like that. Does anyone happen to know of any good European puppetry festivals? In The U.K. Perhaps?

Sometimes when people are offended it doesn't mean that they have anything to be offended about. It's just nitpcking. I wouldn't make it my problem if I don't see what's offensive about it. It's their problem then.

I saw this prototype of a Skesis head on eBay. It's signed by Frank Oz, Jim Henson and Gary Kurtz. Check out the Star Wars items this seller has aswell. http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60360&item=3854476306&rd=1...

That sounds like alot of fun. Too bad I live abit too far away :P Just a tad bit though.

interresting indeed :) That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

I already thought that I'd probably have to figure the details out myself. Today I got some more ideas on how to test this out. I'm going to build a dummy first and try out everything I can think of to animate it. I'll check up on how black light puppetry works aswell then. Maybe I can also get...

Glad to have been of help then :)

Saw this tape on eBay. I'd buy it myself if the shipping cost etc wouldn't become that high for me. But I thought maybe someone else is interrested in it. The same seller also has some weird Turtles, Live on Tour tape I had never heard of before...

Great story :) I especially enjoy hearing that your whole family is involved. I myself am having problems finding people to help me. There's only two of us here and one is behind the camera so that leaves me as the only puppeteer. Then again I must admit I haven't started asking around yet if...

I just watched the Book Of Pooh DVD and I was wondering about a few things. I read the interview with the creator and so I know they've used Bunraku techniques. If I'm correct there are 3 puppeteers operating each puppet. Can anyone tell me what bodyparts each individual puppeteer operates and...

You'll have to hurry if you still want these. I wanted to get them but I decided my money would be better spent on Adobe software. Although I do feel bad because I've always wanted this set. http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5933790589&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT...

I've noticed some occurences in a couple of Bert and Ernie sketches. Probably old ones though.
