Nobby, Dobby, Schmobby........I post late at night without the benefit of spell check OK??? ;) BTW - for everyone who didn't see Yoda's acceptance speech - the Force.net has it available for download at http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=21101. There's also links to a couple...

That's soooooo been done though....but still Gonzo doing a Michael Curry-style giant puppet would be hilarious!

Sounds interesting, but I have a story logic question....if they are on a "deserted" island how do they find their guest stars? :zany:

Arms Length Productions has a good puppet eye/eyelid making tutorial online here.

Hi all, I just stumbled across this diagram while looking something up quickly at Henson.com - it's a neat Muppeteering diagram by Caroly Wilcox.

Good puppets are very, very expensive!! :cry:

The website was inaccessible again this afternoon, from about 11:45 am until around 12:30 pm.

Just to let everyone know, a crude version of this site (finally) went up last week at Puppetry.ca. Right now there is just a listing of Canadian Puppeteers/Puppet Companies, Puppet Builder and Guilds, Associations and Clubs. More will be added soon.

Actually, I think that is a great idea! :cool: The camera drops and suddenly you see the puppeteers performing Gonzo, Pepe or whoever and they start complaing about their crew. :zany: :p :zany: :p

Hi gang, This is long overdue, but due to popular demand (mostly from Bork Bork) I'm finally going to throw together my own puppet building "how-to". It'll be archived over at my old Geocities site. I'm rebuilding an old puppet character named Tumbles P. Bear for a film project I want to...

Yes Virgina er, Manda there are foam suppliers! ;) These are companies that sell foam, usually in large quantities to places like upholstry shops. Often you find them advertising themselves in a local paper selling foam cushions or mattresses. Sometimes they are wholesalers and only sell in...

Skeksis, Skekis, Serkis, they all look the same to me. :D

I (finally) saw this last night (I missed the original broadcast in Canada on Saturday because I was out) and it was great! The best part was when Yoda used the force as they tried to play him off. "Play off Yoda, no one does." My other favorite line was "900 years old I may be, but does not...

:confused: OK, file this under weird movie news: Two more signs of the apolocalypse have been announced this week......reports say that Harrison Ford is being pressured by his girl friend, Ali MacBeil herself, to accept the role as the voice of Bob in the new live action U.S. Bob The Builder...

I've had problems as well.....frequently when I try to log in to the site lately I get a "Server Not Found" error and the site won't load. Other times the site will load, but the forum won't. Usually if I wait a few hours everything goes back to normal. I've been experiencing this every few days...

Don't take the "generic" reply personally. Companies like Henson often field thousands of enquiries per year and it could easily be someone's full time job to write personal replies! The best thing to do is follow their guidelines as best you can, tell them who you are and what you're all about...

...guess it was inevitable. Dan Akroyd's been trying to get a new movie off the ground for a few years too. Thanks for posting this Foz!

I've seen videos from that series often being sold-off by some of the large video store chains. It takes a little luck, but I know Blockbuster is in the midst of dumping VHS for DVD as quickly as they can so you might get lucky there.

A great place for beginners to start looking for any and (almost) all kinds of puppet building information is The Puppetry Homepage. There's lots of great links there. Unfortunately, there isn't one "one stop" puppet building supplier. Like Super Scooter mentioned, you should try fabric...

You're really broken up about that car, aren't yu foz? Actually, the 'Hulk' producers were furious about the trailers that have upset the fans. Apparently the Superbowl one was slapped together quickly and the images of the Hulk that have been used aren't final renders so that's why they look...
