We will then disagree. Buck Beaver has already pointed out that if one simply goes back over the old posts, there is a staggering wealth of information here. You're also posting into a forum that is not specifically dedicated to puppet building. So expecting detailed technical answers is...

When someone comes along and says "Tell me how to make a puppet." its like saying "Tell me how to make a horse buggy." There is no one way to make a horse buggy. Just as there is no one way to make a puppet. I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment of the information shared...

Just or info: the Puppet Forge site is taken down. After 10 years of not being able to change it, it was simply a waste of money keeping it up. I no longer run a site for public submissions. I am still DBA The Puppet Forge, but all website activity is through a mission specific site...

Just a note to let everybody know that I cancelled the Puppetforge.com website. It is now kaput. Considering that I haven't been able to change it in the last 10 years or update it or anything its just been a drain on my money with no practical result. So its done now. If I was hosting...

You've gotten a good passle of answers already, but I always start by asking the two following questions: 1) What's your application? Live? Video? Film? 2) What's your budget? I have found them to be the most important questions to ask right off the bat. Many puppet makers...

Of course, I completely forgot to mention... If you aren't in a position to help us out with a donation (and I know exactly what it feels like to be there!) you can still help us by posting our fund drive to your facebook or twitter or myspace to help us get the word out! The more people we...

It seems that no matter what the law is or is not, people (not saying anyone here) will continue to misinterpret or ignore it. And arguments, informed and uninformed, will continue on forums into forever. But in my personal experience, it is best to assume that you aren't smarter than someone...

Super cool. National exposure! Rock on! -G

I think George's lawyers are smarter than that. Before anything like that would have happened, they would have approached atomfilms and discussed how everyone could profit instead of lose in the situation. In return for not crushing them like a legal bug, Lucasfilm probably laid down a bunch...

Actually, you are incorrect above. And I can easily explain why. Lets say someone makes a replica Rowlf the Dog puppet and they film him doing something that is potentially damaging to the image and value of the intellectual property. It doesn't matter what that activity is nor whether...

WOW! Congrats! Were they puppeteered by the cast of the View or by others?

Hey everybody! In order to (partially) fund our upcoming 60 minute Transylvania Television Halloween Special, we've started a fund raising effort on Kickstarter.com You can find out all about the project at...

It was so short a clip that we didn't get to that part. He was using it mostly to get us an example of a sung word that's been drawn out vocally. "And then a step to the ri-i-i-i-i-ight." "Pull your knees in ti-i-i-ght." "..its the pelvic thru-u-u-st that drives you insa-a-a-a-a-ane." That...

aside from those mentioned: Another Brick In The Wall Wanna Soak Up The Sun Bohemian Rhapsody (non-Muppet version) Time Warp And one more I cannot remember. I think. That'd make seven which would time out for two each. My notes on the workshop are as follows. I don't think I'm really "giving...

Steve's wife might have something to say about that. ;) -G

Get hands on instruction from a Muppeteer with over 31 years of experience? :) -G

I understand the desire for more. It was a great learning experience and I'm sure that if Steve was more of an Energizer Bunny than he already is, he would have made the classes 2 hours long just to be more than fair to everyone. And I'm not playing apologist here, but for $30 (non members)...

Anybody else go? -Gordon

Well, as far as the lecture goes, he did say that it was basically the information he assembled to explain the Muppets to execs at Disney... which kinda takes it out of the "educational lecture" category and places it more in the "business presentation" category... which is really a different...

This is the body of an email I just sent to a friend. I figured that since it was a good description, I'd copy and paste it here to save myself some time. It was interesting in the lecture... as Steve was explaining things and getting us to understand the underpinnings of what makes a Muppet a...
