Remember the photo was taken without the benefit of whatever lighting will be used in the film. Could end up looking a lot different in the movie.

This is actually an odd thing specific to the holiday's English name, no other language describes it as "Good" Friday. In other languages the name translates roughly to Holy Friday, Sorrowful Friday, and Great and Holy Friday. Several hundred years ago "good" could be used interchangably with...

The only "safe" pesticides are organic and not terribly effective. I would take Beebers advice and remove the puppets.

There's a good eyelid tutorial at http://www.puppet-planet.com/Armslength_Eye_Tutorial.htm

The URL for the puppetry arts program at UConn is http://www.puppetarts.uconn.edu

...and male! :p

Yeah, you can't skimp on the backpack frame, the good ones here cost $80-$120 US but prevent you from hurting yourself.

I love DS9 but I think it was most "un-Star Trek" of all the series.

There's a few designs I've seen but don't know of any URLs...try searching for Punch and Judy stages as some Punch performers use those. Many common puppetry books have stage designs in them. Check the library. Myself I would just make a PVC frame and find a way to mount it on to a frame...

These might have been mentioned in the other thread, but: Plans for a PVC puppet stage ($27 but you can get the gist from the photos they've posted) http://home.comcast.net/~frbcpuppets/stage.htm Article on how to build PVC stages http://www.bright.net/~jonadab/puppets/stages.htm Some...

Both the URLs at the top of this thread are no longer active. The "main.htm" URL is now http://www.bear-town.com/index.php This is an old thread. I was toying with doing Bear Town as a web comic but decided to go with video after realizing that it was going to be as much work either way...

This will be of interest if you've ever dreamed of making your own Tron costume (I for the record haven't), are a big fan of Tron or just kinda like seeing middle aged men in ridiculously tight spandex costumes. http://www.ibiblio.org/jmaynard/TRONcostume/

I always new that bear was a suck-up. lol ;) No offense was intended by my post. To be perfectly honest I hadn't even read Whatever's post when I typed it...and he and Foz are right. Can't go wrong with Butchcat Cesar. There's talented folk all over the place here.

I hope not...I mean I'd like some extra time but two and a half years is rediculous! I think the problem might be the date/time settings on the computer you're using. The countdown is calculated by a javascript that relies on the time/date on your computer to generate the countdown. When I...

Nice stuff! Spiffy.

Hi Cesar, Welcome to MC. As Pauly pointed out many of the folks here build puppets, but you probably won't find anyone more affordable than Puppets For Goodness Sake...their email is puppets4gs@aol.com The quality of their puppets relative to their price is just about unbeatable IMO.

If you do puppetry on your knees a lot be sure to wear good kneepads. It helps a lot.

Ideally you want to keep your arm perfectly straight, but also as relaxed and loose as possible. If anything ever feels strained in puppetry chances are you're doing it wrong. It takes practice to build up the necessary muscle endurance. If you keep doing it eventually it just gets easier...

Updated my blog tonight with more information on several NDoP events I missed the first time around. You can check it out at the link below.

You won an award Foz? Congrats!
