Take a look at this adorable looking Ludo puppet that was made by a puppet builder named Carey MacDonald. I think Labyrinth fans will love it!

Hi everyone, I am relaunching PuppetBuilding.com this week and I'm adding a lot more features so it's much easier for people to submit content and use it to promote themselves and their work. One of the new features is an international Puppet Builder Directory. If you'd like to be included...

Great looking puppet, as always, Jarrod!

Audrey II is brutal if the puppet isn't constructed properly. :(

Just for future reference, many of the stock photo agencies in the U.S. (you can do a Google search to find them) offer really professional, hi-res images like what you were looking for. Flickr's Creative Commons search might be useful too, if anyone is in need of photos and the project you're...

Also, if you search PuppetryLab and I believe Puppet U they have posted about warm-up exercises in the past (sorry I don't recall the specifics). I was introduced to the Brain Gym programs by another puppeteer several years ago and use them a lot to help warm up muscles and improve hand-eye...

Tom's girlfriend would be much more knowledgable about this kind of thing than I am, but I've had similar problems in the past (I was told it was carpal tunnel or something similar) and found that doing calisthenics helped a lot. Do you warm up before doing puppetry? Not everyone does that, but...

Oh I wasn't meaning to vilify all directors and I'm glad to hear you've had mostly positive experiences. My original point was simply that I have found - as I said in my experience - that it's the less talented directors who tend to be egomaniacs and make ridiculous demands of their performers...

Well, I don't think that knowing someone's tendencies should excuse their ridiculous behavior. That's a bit like blaming a victim who gets robbed in dark alley. Perhaps common sense dictates the person shouldn't have been in the alley to begin, but they still shouldn't have been robbed.

In my experience, most directors (though usually not the best ones) are really insecure and have rampaging God complexes. When these types of directors have little experience dealing with puppets they will bring in a puppeteer for their "expertise" and then unfortunately and ignore most of what...

I probably won't have time to do that for awhile because I am pretty busy, but since Muppet Wiki is licensed under the GNU Free Document License (just like Wikipedia) if you or someone else wants to download them and add them they can because the photos are Creative Commons Licensed. Just...

Awesome, thanks!

Hi everyone, I am close to finishing the new, improved version of PuppetBuilding.com, which will be a much improved version of the site with a lot of new features including several that have been suggested by visitors and members of the forum here. I am looking for photos of puppets that...

Tried the Chicagoland Puppeteers? They have a web site at http://www.chicagopuppet.org There's also the Wisconsin Puppetry Guild at http://www.wipuppetry.org

Has anyone found these online?

The title at the front of the video indicates that this was produced for internal use, does anyone know if this was one of the videos created for training purposes? It certainly seems to be.

Mountain Dew has a video site called MDTV. I scanned it quickly but didn't see anything that looked like what you described. Maybe you can take a look there and find it.

First, make sure that the yellow dye you are looking at is actually UV-active because a lot of dyes look florescent, but don't actually work under black light. Dylon sells (or at least used to sell) three florescent colours, green, pink and yellow that can often be found in stores. The problem...

I think the link(s) you're referring to are: Twelve Questions For Puppeteers Six More Things For Puppeteers To Think About Fivefingers my advice is don't make the film people here want to see, make the movie you want to see. Great films don't get made by focus groups (despite what...
