I mentioned this to a Flash-knowledgable friend today and he said that this problem might be a quirk of the Flash video streaming that YouTube uses.

Did anyone manage to tape this?

Not sure if everyone here has seen Whackjack or not, but it's another relatively new puppet web series. New episodes are only posted every few months, but they're really complicated. I've posted a bunch of related links in my blog at http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/2006/02/more-whackjack.html...

Isn't www.glovets.com your web site Lab Rat?

I find with YouTube that sometimes you have to wait for the entire video to download before it will play back with the audio in sync with the video.

That sounds like the show I was referring to.

Sean explains a good method for attaching ping pong ball eyes in his blog beginning here . In fact, as Phantom suggested, you should read Puppet 101 starting from this post and it will give you some ideas and answer a lot of your questions. One trick I like to use is to build puppets with the...

I'm just throwing this out there, but what about keeping the character mute? That might be totally impractical for what you want to do, but sometimes it's really effective to do that because it allows the audience to project a character on to the puppet. It's also a neat puppeteering challenge...

I'm not sure. I met the designer who did the show I am thinking of when I was doing black light in Toronto around `97 or `98. He was up there visiting relatives and heard about the show I was in and decided to check it out. Has this show been going that long?

I think there's going to be another one of these in a week or so for the next Channel 102 so hopefully they'll post it online afterwards.

How about Read-A-Long, It's A Big, Big, World, Little Star, Longhouse Tales?

Creative Cow has a decent article on shooting for chromakey at http://www.creativecow.net/articles/onneweer_barend/chromashoot/index.htm TheForce.net also has some good Star Wars-oriented tutorials at http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/tutorials.asp

Everybody here can do that and I hope they do. There's so much talent here and this is such a great way to get their work seen by a really wide audience.

I'm in the process of launching a puppetry podcast and I think a few other people here are too. Check out this which sort of covers the basics. It has some links to good information.

That's a good point. I think with Sesame Street they're not going for 100% realistic movement and it's a stylistic choice. It really is important to experiment a lot and try different approaches.

You could join Puppeteers of America and go to different puppet shows and talk with the puppeteers afterwards. When he's older going to a puppet festival would be a great idea. Fantastic books that you can buy your son are "Puppet Mania!", "The Muppets Make Puppets" and "The Most Excellent Book...

What works really well in my experience is to do this type of thing like table-top or Bunraku-style puppetry where the puppets are operated in front of you and not above you. As long as you don't need to turn the head completely around, a hole can be placed in the back of the head and rods can...

These are very Muppet-like, very cute. You make some of the best Monster puppets I've seen on MC.

If you click the link I posted above, the first two pages or so have sites with good information.

Google is your friend Puppetise. ;) well, unless you're in China, but I digress...
