I saw the last 3 seconds of it, and it isn't up on the website yet. Someone on the forum made the puppets for that, but I can't remember the name because I am not super familiar with the forum members. It did get a good reactoin from the judges, so I will assume it is good and confirm that...

Good exercises. My wrist cracked a bunch when I did the first one, but it got the kinks out. I have a tight grip, and I draw for a living, and this will help for that too. Multitasking excercises are great! As for the weight issue, I suggest practice (Like they say on It's Curtoon Time...

Skippy. Alarming, hillarious, really loud, funny, and alarming again. I agree, cut back on the red bull.

It might be fun to make it like a book of headshots for a talent agencey. You could have your puppets pose in a way that showcases their personality. Have these profesionaly done (Photography major friend?), or as high quality as you can. Add their name big in the bottom margin and some short...

Thanks! This will defineitely come in handy for me.

Great stuff Monkey Boys! I wish I were an exec at any entertainment studio, because I would hire you for something, anything. If I hear that any of my executive-type friends need some puppetry, you're at the top of my list. Good luck!!

That's Kermit alright. Great doppleganger.
