    How to start making puppets?

    I want to build my own Kermit one day. I still can't know how must be the real patterns used in the current Kermit. I've seen different shapes and sizes. And I think there's something more into his head, something like another structure to could keep the shapes when he makes different...

    How to start making puppets?

    It's not different from a typical muppet puppet. You need to cut the shapes on foam using a pattern, then you glue all the pieces and cover all the figure using antipill fleece or Antron fleece, and some furry fabric. All the fabrics are sewed using the ladder stitch, or Henson stitch. After...

    You're welcome. I think I answered your question in another post, but it was for your question about latex skin. Good luck with your puppet!

    How to start making puppets?

    I've used some techniques like that, but I don't have enough experience about this. There's a guy, Philip Stephens, on Youtube that knows and shares lot of secrets about making puppets and props. Look at this video, he uses silicone skin; If you use casts, you can paint the mold interior with...

    The rebuild I've wanted to do for two years...

    Now I'm trying to build my own generic puppet, like a Whatnot, but with the materials I can find here in my country. I never knew if they have some kind of liner and, if they have it, how I should attach it. Unfortunately I can't buy a real Whatnot here in Argentina. There should be a store here.

    How to start making puppets?

    Hi everyone: I have a question. I'm trying to build my first puppets and I though I could try with a kind of anything one. Does anyone know what's the better way to attach provisory eyes or noses? I don't find the real Antron here in my country, then I used a comon fleece, but I notice that...

    Fozzie Bear Replica Puppet

    It' better to keep away from very warm and wet rooms, and don't touch it too much. But inevitably, the material degrades. It's perfect for film productions because its flexibility and spongy nature but is short-lived. If you just want a rigid replica, perhaps someone can do it in resin. I saw a...

    Fozzie Bear Replica Puppet

    I've done some things on makeup effects, and I know that it happens. It's not about bad quality of the material, on the contrary, it's very flexible and ideal for these things, but its life is short. That's why facial prosthetics are replaced all the time when you do special make ups, and in...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

    It's precisely as Oscarfan says, the soundtrack includes some demo versions. You can hear "We're Doing a Sequel" demo and there's another voice in place of Bunsen Honeydew, for example.

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

    Ok, I only enjoyed them during the movie. I liked the songs because how they worked in the musical style and the grace of the scenes. I couldn't notice more technical aspects. Do you work with music?

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Most Wanted Original Soundtrack

    The whole soundtrack is great, but this scene in particular and its music is fantastic, along with "I'm number one" are my favorites.
