Wow Mgov, you must not be on the ball with this one. Clearly, one is Mechanical Eyes and the other is Eyelid Mechanism... Actuallly you need to read further down to see what practicecactus was talking about. :) I'll have to gently disagree with you on that point, practicecactus. I think...

I was watching an extra on Ratatouille today & heard a quote that I thought fit in with this discussion... The mistake that a lot of people make is thinking that you can force ideas to come—you can’t really. All that you can do is observe what kind of environment puts you in a creative state...

Its all about heightening... :)

EXCELLENT point Mgov. I'd suggest that before you tackle the where, tackle the characters. Nail down what their weaknesses & strengths are, but do so in an organic way. Try slapping them on your hand and improvising a bit with another puppeteer. Creation of good scenework comes from a...

She's very cute! She's already got at least one bid on her! Hooray! Happy Bliding to everyone! ;)

ladder stitch is that one you learned in the 4th grade when you made pillows for your mom for valentine's day.

I think a name is something that can be very personal. Something you connect with that you can make into something great... That being said...Every group that I've been involved with (2 performance & then my own 'company' for puppet-building) has been pulled out of our collective tuchus...

http://handrsales.com/db3/00242/handrsales.com/_download/GeneralSuppliesCatalog.pdf you have to look at the catalogue, silly. page 7. & some of 8, under Polyfoam.

H&R Sales in Phoenix...granted I have the advantage because I live here... http://handrsales.com/index.html Any upholstry shop should have it. I think you can get the low density at H&R for about 5 dollars a yard. I'd imagine the same in other shops.

The Jim Henson Legacy Exhibit is in town, so lots of muppet folks are, too.

Can I just keep you in my closet with your magical powers for when I think of something? That would certainly make things easier.

Ohhh, hey, thanks for this! I'm diving into arm rods a little more deeply than I had before. ON that note...I had the opporutnity to meet Dave Goelz TWICE last weekend & the 2nd time had the gumption to ask about arm rods. (I forget if I've glowed over this anywhere else...) doofy little me...

OH, I have that book those images are from...I'll have to dig it out.

Muaahahahaha!

Um...that is one of the *BEST* Mr Grinch rod puppets I have ever seen in my LIFE. I adore it! OK can I adopt all of you young people? I promise I'll only suck out your talent & leave you a hopeless shell. Its okay, you'll have a great career in banking! Very, very nice. I'm so very impressed &...

If anyone here requests to "be my friend' on youtube, I can set it so all of my close, personal friends can have a peek. I think you can find my profile via the link above.

So the question is how much should you charge? OH my. Have you seen Andrew's Puppet pricer? You should definitely charge more than $0. But that's only a rough estimate. ;) Very nice work. I'm jealous of your skills at 17 (Oh man, imagine what you'll be doing in 13 years!)

Yeah, I suppose I shoudl have given the premise before...I've got post-editing mush-brain. the story is about the big bad wolf who decides he's going to become the big benevolent wolf. Resolutions: No Soliciting Children, No Cross Dressing & Keep Kosher. So he's on a walk in the forest & is...

oh, I wasn't talking about the blue foam, but I'm sure it is indeed, great! The stuff our theater uses is just basically white styrofoam.

Hey Everyone, We're done editing, now we have some massive ADR to take care of, but I wanted to get something up onto youtube (itchy trigger finger, I guess). So I slapped up one of the angles of Little Red Riding Hood's Monologue. It's a mostly-tame bit of our mature-audience show. Just...
