It's finally done! Huzzah! You can check it out now, at this page, here. I also recorded a commentary track, which you can listen to here.
The show turned out quite well, I think: I'm very happy with the end result, and very, very thankful for the help of my excellent team of puppeteers -- Nick...
It's missing greenscreened graphics, final audio, most musical cues, and sound effects, but it's done, and weighs in at just under 21 and a half minutes. Huzzah! I'm very excited.
I wrote a post on my blog about it, with some snazzy production stills. Check it out...
Hey all,
Here's the deal: as part of my ongoing attempt to make the show look as crazily detailed as possible, I'm dressing up the desk area for each puppet uniquely. And since the desks are office desks, it only makes sense that there would be photos of families and friends in various places...
Hey all,
I recently got a new video camera for dotBoom, and I have been doing tests with it, checking on quality generally, and how it works with green screens specifically. It looks like it will do a good job. You can see my latest test, if you're interested, here...
In my continuing attempt to detail every step of the production of the show, I bring you the opening credits:

Designed and animated by me. Music by The Minor Leagues.
Hey all,
I've got the dotBoom website up! There's no video on there yet -- it'll be coming soon -- but you can find out about the show, and see what each of the characters look like. I've also got the standard blog and forums thing.

Cast photos...
Sort of. One completed, one/two/eight new ones.
I've only got one left to finish for the first episode!

Hey,
Do any of you know of any good directories for voice actors? I used to have some good links, but I seem to have lost them all. I'm looking to find anyone in the K-W area to lend some voices to the show I'm working on (female voices, especially).
Thanks!
Hey all,
I've got the sets for the first episode of dotBoom completed. I still need to figure out the lighting, but the construction is finished.
Check it out!

Hey all,
Yesterday I built the body for the "Jason" puppet for my nascent puppet show. He's a departure from the previous ones I've made, as he's one like Bert, where you put your hand in a glove that becomes his hand. I'm sure there's a proper name for that type of puppet, but it escapes me...
Hey all,
I was wondering if there's anyone out there who's in the K-W area, or near to it, that might be available to help with my puppet show. It'll be filmed and put online, as a sort of tv show without a tv.
It's a web industry-based sitcom, with lots of cursing.
It'll be called dotboom...
Hey all,
I'm in the middle of building a bunch of puppets for this web show I plan on doing, which will be a web industry-themed officeplace sitcom. I'm going a little overboard with the scope of the thing (11 or more puppets for the first episode, new puppets in every additional episode), but...
Hi all,
I'm teaching myself puppeteering/puppet-making (with the help of some reference books, and the excellent tutorials/wisdom of the folks on this forum) and I'm curious to know if there are others in my area who are prone to building puppets. I'm making a videocast/web television show, so...
