I can totally relate to that. lol It reminds me of a funny story of someone I meet once who told me that he has a huge interest in the voice artists industry. He know who Billy West, Tom Kenny, Charles Adler, etc. where and I was impressed. So I do some voices and he'd be like, cool I can...

Yeah, I've heard that there's competition. But as an artist I feel never to compete but just to make art of stuff I personally would love to see more of and make it for myself and like minded people would follow except the other way around like most people in the industry usually say. Because in...

I always find it frightning when seeing such a classic name in the animation / cartoon industry being revived into a movie, especially CGI. Just look at what happened with Scooby, Lorax and Yogi. Heck, anyone here about the Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker CGI movies? I'm trying to get these...

I believe there's not only more like minded people for me over there but a lot more excitement and opertunaties in the arts over there, either that or New York. I'm not sure if there's anyone here who felt simular and successfully live there. I want to go out there and follow my dreams, I know...

In terms of foam what do you all usually get? And what's your material sources? I used to go to AC Moore and Michael all the time. And I would get that flat white foam, is that polyurethane? I know there's two ways to build, the flat foam patterns and then the carving block foam. But they are...

I'm not sure if I mentioned this on this thread or another but one of the problems that I had with flat foam building was having my hand stable to the mouth plate because if the head is big, My fingers would have a hard time staying on the mouth plate so what I discovered was taking a sock and...

The puppet looks really cool. Yeah, I'd love to make quality puppets like that where you can see glue mistakes and sown arms, stuff like that. But isn't puppet building super expensive? When I did it years ago, I build a puppet during my high school years and spend 40 bucks on materials. Maybe...

I thought it was, that's usually what I called him. But I remember in the Wilson Meats Meeting Film and even Jane Henson one called him "Sollin", so I wasn't 100% sure.

Yeah, that him. And his last name is pernounced MaZZ-Ar-ino right? You know the two names I get mixed up with in terms or pernouncing is David Rudman (Is it pronounced RUDMAN or RODMAN) and even Don Salhin I've heard it pernounced Don Sal-hin and SAL-LEN with a silent H. I figure I'd ask since...

I remember seeing a picture of the Aveune Q puppets and how there's 3 of the same character. Usually I always thought they just build the one character per year and then rebuild the character and dump the old one or something like that. I wonder how they do things in terms of how many puppets...

I've been searching for awhile, I remember seeing it in the mid to late 1990s. They were kind of street scenes. It was really funny. lol I think Joey M (I got to learn this puppeteers' name, he's been on Sesame for awhile) performed Old McDonald and I'm not sure who was the pig, all he did was...

So you can move eyelids using a lever on a rod right? I think Johnny Fiama and The Cat in the Hat (WWODS) had those mechanisms with their eyebrows. I heard that with Gonzo it's worked with a string with a ring or something within the head or something like that. For a long time, I always wanted...

I thought The Jim Henson Hour was filmed in the UK since they had the Storyteller lion and it probably would have been a lot of work to ship that big puppet from the UK Creature Shop to Canada. But maybe they figured out a way. So Muppets Tonight was filmed in California? I wonder how many...

I've experimented with it before ever since I seen Muppets on Puppets (1968) on how Don Salhin showed that you make 2 side profiles of the character that are the same, glue them together and it creates the foam skeleton right? I've always had difficulty with this because the heads would be flat...

I never heard of this band until I saw this music video. I usually stay away from any new music because I'm very old school. But I really like the music in this, it's very Fraggle Rock folk rock like but slightly alternative which I can be flexible with at times if there's a good melody going. :)

You know one of the things I kind of knew about The Muppets was their eyes where made of some kind of plastic material (excluding the Land of Gorch Muppets of course which were made of glass). I know that the first Kermit's eyes was a pin pong ball cut in half but I'm just curious about not only...

You mean those wires that would be about 12 inches and they would be in a pack of 10 or something like that? Like the wire they would make flowers near the Wedding shelves right? I used to use them all the time when I used to do live puppet shows and public access stuff years ago. :)

A way I know in terms of rods is to go to Home Depo and ask for metal rods or wires, and when you get them at first, they might be kind of greasy due to the oil. So you would need some sandpaper, black spray paint (blue or green if your doing some chroma key work), Metal clippers, then finally...

I thought Muppets Tonight was filmed in Canada.

There was this 90s episode where Elmo writes a book and Maria reads it and it's about Old McDonald and a Pig going on silly adventures and whatnot and at one point they are in a theater and only their shadows are seen (Mystery Science Theater 3000 reference) and the film is stock footage of...
