Leo - the puppeteer who produces those for the Danish version of Sesame Street - has a bunch of them on his web site at http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Elrvk/lejo/ (just click "GB" to get the english version).

I wonder where THAT came from. :p Hmmm....

Antron fleece which, alas, is no more. :(

Thanks guys, I should have pics of Mace Windu and Yarel Poof (anyone remember him?) to share tomorrow.

LOL :p The new, improved Yoda looks much better I think: http://www.bear-town.com/images/for_journal/sw-film/Yoda-puppet-1.jpg

We shot the first batch of scenes this weekend; I cute together a few rough outtakes that were kind of funny. Just to sort of explain this, the audio in the scene is being replaced with a voiceover so I told the puppeteers to just tried to improv some funny dialogue. The background will...

What type of hair are you using? Wigs? Yarn? Fur? Methods for attaching hair tend to vary depending on what you're using for hair in my experience.

Hi Charly, welcome to the forum. I've written two articles that may be helpful as a starting point, a guide to puppet building resources that includes lots of information on puppet building books, kits, videos and links to web sites with lots of information. I've also written a tutorial on...

I did some tests and white actually reads better than yellow on camera, so I think they'll be white.

Some nearly complete Jawas... http://www.bear-town.com/images/for_journal/sw-film/Jawas.jpg I still have to give one of them a blaster and add some details to the belts. I'm a little nervous about the big cartoon-y eyes. They look cute (I think) but the actual Jawa eyes are tiny.

Not so, record your video (with sound) and then use the audio track in Flash and just eliminate unnecessary frames. It's also entirely possible to just import greenscreen (or bluescreen) video directly in to Flash I think. I haven't used MX 2004 yet, but I understand it makes working with video...

I still have it, but I'm not really able to release it publicly, it was a custom program made for a proposed TV series/web site. I'm still not sure what's going to be done with the project ultimately and at the time this little add-in cost a lot of $ to get programmed so I really don't want to...

I had a special program put together for doing puppetry in flash a few years ago, we never got to use it for anything other than demos; basically it grabbed keyframes from digital video footage shot at a high shutter speed (to prevent blurring) and made it really easy to import video files in to...

Bear Town is now going in to pre-production as a independent feature, which is why there haven't been regular updates. We're working on updating the site to reflect that.

Hey Itche, I just checked out your site and your show looks really neat. I don't have time to watch all the episodes now but what a great idea. There's a lot of neat work being done by Jewish puppeteers these days, but it doesn't get much attention. How often do you post new shows?

Hi Steve, I'm in the early stages of designing a massive scaled city block set for Bear Town complete with sidewalks, a road etc. all of which have to be "wild" so they can be moved in and out really quickly and grappling with some of the same challenges. The better sets I've been on were...

Well the basic idea of the wedge concept is that you cut eight identical wedges and then glue them together (two at a time). Imagine an orange sliced in to eight equal slices. That's kind of what you're going for. If the wedges are done at a ratio of 4:1 (four times longer than they are wide)...

As with all things whatadoodle, Google is your friend. ;)

I'm not sure as to the specifics of his head (maybe Ravagefrackle can shed some light on that?) but I suspect that's more a function of either the materil he's made from or the way the head was built than anything else. The easiest way to "fortify" a head would be to make a little foam skull...

Hey guys, Check this out, John Kennedy's going to do a new web series using puppets from his new puppet kit - http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/2005/02/foaman-cometh.html
