Cool thanks :) Yeah it's kind of tough for me in my social status and social life because to me it seems where I'm at in my life there's more quiet adverage people and not so much talkative artsy humor cartoon puppet nerds such as myself :)

Sorry about the long replies. It's like a battle in my head digital puppetry vs actual puppetry. Part of me just wishes that puppet budgets weren't so expensive but I just can't let budget get to me because creativity is unlimited. Anyway for me to get back on subject, anyone ever heard of the...

I agree, I should take my time and make one puppet at a time and just practice my skills in building instead of just giving up like I have been.

Don't get me wrong, I love puppetry and the real hand craft of the art. But in times of the economic and even Hollywood budgets, I'm sort of calculating a bunch of stuff in my head in terms of what would work today. From what I've heard, puppet TV shows are very hard to produce because they are...

True, but the problem I guess from my end is that building puppets are very expensive. I remember talking to a puppet builder online and he told me that a Muppet Style puppet would cost close to a thousand. Which blew my mind because I used to spend only $100 worth of materials each month and...

Also I kind of wonder what if Jim Henson was still alive, what would he say about the Hollywood system today as well as how TV has become reality TV hungry and such. And what kind of things he would do to get art back into the mainstream. It seems like art struggles more and more in the...

True, but Jim always loved challenges, and was kind of like "Oh really that's how it is, I don't think so." (quote from Jane on The World of Jim Henson) You know what's interesting was The Muppet Show was hugely successful but The Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight weren't as successful. Is...

I sort of wanted to bring this up for awhile. One of the things that I find fascinating to people who inspire me is to learn about their inspirations. I'm not sure if Disney was one of Jim Henson's influences but I remember hearing that Pogo was one of his top influences in his work. Does anyone...

Oh cool :) Sounds interesting, Can't wait to check it out. Thanks for sharing :) But yeah The Rainbow Connection to me listening to the lyrics and even how the movie is written plus Robin's comment "Is this how The Muppets really got started?" and Kermit said "It's somewhat how it happened"...

Oh that's good. feew (making the cartoony sound of relief lol) Even though I'm sort of a computer geek and a writer. Text formatting, wikis, etc. Isn't my specialty. I hate to go off subject a bit but I really love this forum because the other forums I've been on, their rules are strict and...

I CAN FINALLY SEE THE LAND OF GORCH MUPPETS LOL all the way Left top side lol That is funny how they managed to get in there. Then again they did get fired off of SNL and were looking for work since. lol I think I see Windle from Emmet Otter under Vash. lol Big Bird with Big Mama. lol No way...

Personally I don't like YouTube, I don't think it works with all the internet memes and such. I do mostly film festivals and had some films shown in California. But one of the things that I'm starting to notice in the industry is that it seems like people have organized where certain people go...

I wonder what makes them so expensive. Is it the materials of puppets and props? The Production? Also I noticed you said funding. So they would try to find ways outside the networks budget to help fund the show perhaps? One of my thoughts in terms of pitching an idea would also maybe be a movie...

Just noticed it. Sorry about that. lol The 1984 video looks awesome, I haven't seen it. I've been waiting for the video to load for the past half-hour just because my internet connection is very slow. lol Wi-fi not dial up. lol I can't wait to have enough money to get myself a much faster...

I'm not sure, I did get a copy of that recently this month. I didn't get a chance to watch it again recently but it's really funny. I liked how Mokey was mentioning that something was wrong with her arm (aka puppeteer not performing it). lol Funny idea though, Fraggles looking for work. It's...

Perhaps? Send me a PM and when I get around to it I'd could send it via email, tepending on the size because I want to kind of do a high definition one. :)

Hmm, interesting. I'll have to find it on my bookshelf and check it out. Thanks :)

Well If you make your own version, your just expressing fandom. That's just my opinion. As for building your own, unless you want to someday work for one of their workshops or just for practice. That's like learning how to draw a cartoon character you like. Me personally, I don't get too much...

Yeah and the whole Karate Chop thing came about Frank being fusterated because he couldn't make a slap look believeable with a puppet so one take he just went, HIIIIIYAAA! And everyone was laughing like crazy and it was a keeper. lol Also in season 1 there was something with Lidia the Tattooed...

Yeah. And as a Muppet fan, I'd hate to their hurt copyrights. I remember seeing that Kermit puppet on eBay and the little angel and devil sort of thing well maybe not so black and white. But I did fell a huge amount of guilt and thought, no, I can't. It's against Copyright and the money isn't...
