Thanks, I'm going to be putting pics of him and a slew of other puppets I've been doing up in the next little while. Right now there are a bunch (including the Peter Manspork puppet) that are 80-90% done. I actually haven't worked on him since I took that picture. :o

That's actually an optical illusion. Gonzo has an eyelid mech. People often think they've seen the Muppets do things they can't. A lot of people claim Piggy can bat her eyelashes but that's also an optical illusion. It's all just the handiwork of very talented puppeteers! :)

Working on ad for someone here and came across this ~ http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=631 It's a Dark Crystal outline font. The site actually has a lot of cool fonts, but also a lot of annoying pop-up ads.

Was wondering if anyone wants to do link exchange with me. Just even a text link is fine, but if you want to use a link banner I have two (one static, one animated) available at http://www.bear-town.com/main.htm just go there and copy them to your hard drive. Feel free to link to either my main...

...or some kind of really elaborate mech. Actually, the illusion of the same effect can be created with moving eyelids like Gonzo's.

That's true - they have done that a lot. They shoot the puppet normally, then cut away, swap out the eyes and cut back to the puppet. I have actually seen it done where the pupils dialate but I don't think it was the Muppets.

Hmm...I've never caught that. Probably saw it but don't remember. I have seen this done on other puppet shows as animation in post production.

I've performed there on tour a few times and lived there briefly. I've travelled around most of the country. My best friend and his wife live in Yokohoma. I am supposed to be doing a show late in the summer in Japan but I'm not sure if it's coming together yet.

Hey Zondra, have you seen this site ~ http://www.japanesestreets.com ? I haven't had much time to poke around it, but it looks like there is lots of stuff there all about Japanese street culture, fashion, etc.

Sorry, completely missed it. Buck apparently needs glasses. :o

John Kennedy is going be appearing on HG-TV (in the US only) to promote his book this week. More info in this thread ~ http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?p=177506#post177506

Ryan beat me to posting this over at TP, so I'll scoop him here (heh heh)... John Kennedy (a frequent Muppet performer for those who don't know him) will also be appearing on a special episode of HGTV's Carol Duvall Show. The special features craft projects from John's book "Puppet Mania"...

Yeah, I know. I realized after I posted it....I think only mods can edit the names of threads though. Help someone? :confused: ...besides everything between PA and Florida is all the same to us ignorant Canadians :p

Cool! No love for Buck though.... :cry:

Welcome to the forum! Nice to have more users from Europe logging in. You've probably come to the right place - there is tons of great puppet building information stored here in the forum. A lot of people have made similar posts to yours so I'd recommend doing a search of the puppetry section of...

Hi all, There is a puppet festival coming up soon in Florida at Sugar Sand Park which is just outside of Boca Raton I believe. The Puppet Guild of South Florida (formerly The Puppet Guild of Greater Miami) is heavily involved with it I think. Here's the details: Festival at Sugar Sand...

:o Sorry some of the characters in that post were a little weird - it was pasted from email and obviously didn't work properly.

Puppet Festival in NC Hi gang! Here's some info on the upcoming PofA Southeast Regional Festival this year...it's actually in NC (not GA as the thread name suggests) Anyone plan on attending? --------------------------------------- The Asheville Puppetry Alliance and The Carolina Guild...

Have a great time! :) I'm supposed to be going to Osaka and Tokyo later this year....I'm jealous.

Has anybody seen these? It's a group of people on the west coast who lip-sync to music and create videos. Some of the puppeteering is pretty good too!
