    TVTV enters the 21st century...

    Thank you! A pilot is always tough. Characters aren't fully formed, you're feeling your way with an untried cast and crew, script is loaded with exposition, etc. etc. We need to keep training our puppeteers (including me). We're all pretty much novices, so there was a LOT of creative...

    TVTV enters the 21st century...

    Well, if somebody is going to benefit from MY work, why can't I benefit from theirs? Many of you folks wanted to see it, and this seems like a very convenient way to let you do so. And I didn't have to lift a finger except to copy and paste the URL. Although what they did was...

    TVTV enters the 21st century...

    Without the aid of a lawyer, all I can really do is to ask or tell them to take it down. I think the website will probably do so if I contact them. But it is important that I make defense noises of my intellectual property rights so I won't be accused later by some other pirate that I didn't...

    TVTV enters the 21st century...

    Yes, folks, we have been pirated and posted to the internet. I figured it was only a matter of time. I'll be sending a "take it down" email to the perpetrator in the next day or so. If you want to see TVTV, I'd suggest you run to the site NOW and watch it...

    Don't know yet about the re-broadcast. I will definitely post the day and time we get! -Gordon

    A Muppet for Sale on Ebay

    I'm not going to impugn the seller's honesty, but to my educated eyes it sure doesn't look like anything they'd have let out of the Muppet Workshop... unless they were purposely making a puppet that didn't look like a Muppet. -G

    TVTV aired without a hitch!

    The overall plan, barring a production deal that will take such things out of our hands entirely, will be to finish AT LEAST one more episode (probably two) and get them on a DVD for sale via our website. Really, we have plans for an entire season of shows, but the pilot was our main focus...

    TVTV aired without a hitch!

    For the most part. After months of watching the edit happen and re-doing dialogue and stuff I'm not sure what's funny anymore. But they laughed at the right stuff pretty much. After it was over, we spooled up the outtake reel. Then they REALLY laughed. :) -Gordon

    Creating Doglion Puppet/Costume

    Tommy, Gordon here. (I've known Tom for years, folks) The two members above are voices to listen to for puppet building advice. There are more, but these two are puppet builders par excellance, so watch their posts. They're a veritable library of knowledge. -G

    A Muppet for Sale on Ebay

    I agree. Highly suspicious. Does not have the "Muppet style" to it, the eyes look like ethey were scavenged off a stuffed animal, the quality of the worksmanship does not bear up to Muppet standards and its made from regular fleece and courduroy. NOT exactly what I'd call a wise investment...

    TVTV aired without a hitch!

    Sat witha group of folks at a local small horrro fiction convention (ARCANA 2007) and watched the premiere of TVTV on loval television. I'm happy to report that it went well and was enjoyed by the small gathering in the room. (How others viewed it was out of my reach)! -Gordon

    A question about mics

    Yes. We had tons of problems maintaining the mouth-to-microphone distance relationship for our puppet vids using lavaliers. They work great for a show where you have two people sitting at a desk and not moving around or standing up in front of a camera, but when you have to keep changing...

    A question about mics

    We spent almost three months cleaning up our sound for TVTV because we didn't have wireless headsets to use. Michael ended up picking through our scratch track for dialogue he could use and then we ADR'ed the rest. It was long and difficult and tedious work. NEVER AGAIN. We will be investing...

    I got an AIR DATE for TVTV!

    Thank you, William! I just got an email from a friend of mine who has an agent at William Morris. He showed the online promo to him and he wants to see the whole show. He wants to circulate it at WMA and see if he can generate any interest among the agents there for us. Could be a HUGE...

    I got an AIR DATE for TVTV!

    RockerBob, The suggestion is valid, but we're shooting a little higher. We're going to be sending it out to MonstersHD, The Horror channel, Robot Chicken, Adult Swim, The Comedy Channel, SCI-FI, and anyone else who'll take a look including all of our local network affilliates. If that fails...

    I got an AIR DATE for TVTV!

    Thank you! I'd like to make your link available on the TVTV website if that's okay. You're more than welcome to post snything you'd like about the show... considering that several of the puppets started life as a Project Puppet Pattern! In specific, Batfink (which you already have in your...
