    Coyotes Commercial

    The puppets were great looking! It's too bad that the manipulation wasn't ideal for your guys, staceyrebecca. Your snowman, Tztz, was great with the gloves and the hockey hair! I just wonder why they wanted a snowman... wouldn't a Coyote be a more logical choice? I would connect a snowman to...

    The NHL (hockey) 2007-2008 season offically started today with the season opener between the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings at the O2 center in London. Yeah, London... this is a gimmick put on by the NHL's brilliant marketing staff. There is another game there tomorrow again with the...

    New Puppetry Club Ads

    High School? That is even better. I would have loved to been in that club then! Captive audience durring 2nd period... very very good. We had that at my school, but we stopped using our system when there was a mooning prank on open house night. I love that you have a puppetry club in high...

    So I just got asked to make puppets for a commerical...

    Even if your puppets are in it for just a few seconds, that is 1) great for you! and 2) awesome that they have a "main puppet" for a puppet comercial! The more puppets being used in everyday things, the more people see their potential for more than just kids' stuff. Then we will be needed more...

    New Puppetry Club Ads

    I want to join the club! Too bad I am not in college anymore, and not near you at all. That would make things difficult, but goes to show how convincing your ads were. Where do these ads air? Are they on your school station, or some other thing that the students will actually watch?

    So I just got asked to make puppets for a commerical...

    Yeah, the NHL doesn't like to make baby sized shirts. I guess they want our puppets to be naked. They didn't count on logo stealing! I had a back and forth with Build a Bear workshop because they have about 1/3 of the teams jerseys for bears, but that's it. The closest thing they have in the...

    I got an AIR DATE for TVTV!

    Great news for you! It looks great! I wish I could see it on TV instead of internet. Send it out to public access stations all over the country. Who knows, you might get picked up somewhere random, or I am just totally ignorant of how this works.

    So I just got asked to make puppets for a commerical...

    I LOVE hockey! You are so lucky that you got to make some puppets for the Cyotes! I made a duck puppet in honor of the Anaheim Ducks, but it isn't anything official, just a little thing a fan like me would do. I still haven't taken pictures of him, but I will now that the season is about...

    Are good puppeteers also good at drawing?

    I think the real question here is, "Are puppet builders good at drawing?". Puppeteers and Puppet builders, or puppet builders/puppeteers are different creatures. Some people's creativity comes out in just the manipulation of the puppet (these people may also be natural actors), and the builder...

    I was on tv with my puppet

    Weather Puppet! It was a good idea, and a nice try. Some spit and polish kid with a wrinkely grin will get the spot. Puppets will have their day! I call for the 100000000000 puppet march on Washington for puppet rights! I FLOVE that they put the microphone to the puppet's mouth! They know...

    A new puppeteer shirt!

    What does "i" stand for anyway? In reality it probably stands for individual, independent, intelligent, or innovation. It could also stand for ideological, idiosyncrasy, irksome, illegitimate, illuminating, indifferent, imp, id, industrial, IBM, immediate, identifiable, insipid, intrusive, and...

    A new puppeteer shirt!

    First off, nicely executed. And now: I think it's time for this whole "i" thing to be over. Also, what are you trying to say with the iPuppet? Are you saying that you are a puppet, that the puppet is a product of a Mac, or are you saying that the we are puppets to the Mac community (lining up...

    Duck Bills and Kermit Hands?

    Hey everyone, I need some help on the construction of a Duck bill and Kermit hands for different puppets. With the Duck bill, I want a Donald Duck type bill, but out of foam and fleece. I do not know much about how to get a nice shape like this to keep its shape and where my hand would go...

    Puppeteer Exercises

    Yeah, that's a good idea for manipulation exercises. Personally, I refined my subtle expressions and just fine tuned all my mouth manipulation by having my favorite puppet at the time sing to Doors records when I was in Jr. High (no, I am not that old. This was in the CD age). I did that for...

    My Army of Anyone Puppet Music Video

    When I watched TheDoogles puppet music video for The Doogles, I was inspired and wished that I too could have a contest to submit a music video to! A couple weeks later from that thought, a contest for a band I support, Army of Anyone, decied to follow the fashion and have a youtube video...

    Are good puppeteers also good at drawing?

    I sure hope I can draw since I am an industrial designer and I do mainly hand drawing. Building puppets is a new thing since I took a class in college, but puppeteering is not new because I have been doing that since I was 3, and refining my skills became important to me for some reason in Jr...

    On The Lot: Spaced Out

    Dude, I'm joking about that. Maybe it would work on Nickalodeon or something. Drunk Aliens are the next big thing in entertainment. Bigger than Stephen Hawking... man the kids LOVE him!

    On The Lot: Spaced Out

    I'd like to hear about your ground up pattern making. Add a special effects version in that book with projectile vommit! You can figure a way to do it live with no cuts? I'm sure it will go over great at kid's shows. If you don't get that book deal, I'm sure a blog would work fine for now.

    On The Lot: Spaced Out

    Great job on the puppets! I see that projectile vommiting workd out. I would have liked the short to have a little more story to it, but the puppets were definitely the best part.
