I saw a report last sunday (maybe a rebroadcast of an earlier report) on CNN about the economy and Broadway: They talked about the shows expecting to close soon, however in contrast, There was an interview with one of the executive producers of Avenue Q who said that Avenue Q will likely...
And by the way, it is not about homosexual puppets. It has only one main gay character and the plot doesn't revolve entirely on him. The same can not be said of many broadway hits.
I don't think so. There is a contest going on right now (two more days before the deadline) to choose the lyrics that will substitute the song with the "George bush" phrase on it. The winning Lyric will be performed on the 20th. Why bother if it were finishing soon?
Hi Neon,
I haven't made any Woodstock puppet but I made a Woodstock plush once, and it is amazing that you only need two pieces of the profile sewn together, with a little bit of extra fabric surrounding the silhouette, to form the body and head. When you stuff the pieces it takes the shape...
I agree with all the previous posters, story come first, and I definitely will try someday what Buck Beaver is suggesting, although I think that technique would probably be most valuable for refining a project.
I sometimes compose music and many times when my mind is blank, a new instrument...
I´m sure that all those sound effects were inhereted from the early days of radio soap operas, that probably predated sound in films.
In those early days they have collections of bells, whistles, instruments, cocconuts shells, and stuff to make all kinds of sounds, from people walking to...
I am surprised. I read somewhere that the french production would be using the swedish production puppets. In fact they used them for the promos over youtube.
I personally prefer being in black, or grey.
Here is an example that you could consider extreme. Here is the cast of avenue Q Mexico, the way the director chose to do it over there, with all the actors dressed in bold colors.
Pictures of Avenida Q
It is very distracting. Your are not only...
Disney owns the muppet brand. Sesame Workshop is independent of Disney. But as far as I know Henson's provides muppeteers and puppets for both companies.
Anyway, it shouldn't matter what the background of the actors is. Many of the guest stars for the 39th season of sesame street like Jenny...
Hey Darkranth, Now I can see that you finally got your Fur for trekkie. I would recommend you make trekkie's horns the same way you are building your puppets. Foam covered with fleece. And get Sculpey for the pieces under the eyes, is the easiest way to do it. So far so good. And your sunshine...
Darkranth, In spanish I liked the "unofficial" translations I've seen on the Internet. I liked the ones from Spain, Argentina, Monterrey, and one that a friend wrote. But I din't liked the, so far, only "official" spanish translation, the one playing in Mexico City. And I don't like the idea...
Congratulations, Darkranth. Hey.. did you translated the lyrics? have you heard those on the upcoming Paris version? By the way tell me how they sound to you:http://www.myspace.com/avenueqfr I mean soundwise they are great but how does the adaptation sound to you?
Just an update. After being delayed, Finally Avenue Q Mexico debuted yesterday with an "Orange fur" carpet premiere, and all the mysteries were finally revealed to the press.
The final cast does not include the actor that played Abelardo. But includes one Teen-band member and a couple of...
Darkranth . About the eyes. I have been thinking about using "Sculpey super flex","Sculpey eraser clay" or "fimo soft" for puppets eyes. I am thinking of making a flat tortilla or patty with one bar and use an ice cream scoop, a soup scoop or a bowl as a mold, pressing the dough from the inside...
I also liked your Rod design. Princeton with a purple hair looks good. Maybe what Darkranth misses are the eyelids which are characteristic of Rick's princeton. What I am not sure is if the two bears would work together well, because the color of one is very bright and the other is pastel...
My little 2 years old niece is afraid of puppets.
When she was only 1, she was afraid of a cookie monster toy puppet. I don't no why, maybe because of the black mouth, because she doesn't like black or furry things either, like the black hair on stuffed toys, or maybe because that CM was a...
