    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    The AGT segment is up again: http://perezhilton.com/tv/index.php?ptvid=753785f646057 Now I understand why everyone was hypercritical. The Kermit performance here is weak on all counts. Painful to watch. :( Still, I'm not sure the "set in stone" policy will be best for the franchise. If...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    That was me...newbie error, I was surfing around the 'related posts' area at the bottom of a current post. I'd just attended a lecture in which Steve intimated that there had been some recasting issues with Disney, so I was curious and poked around the forum for background. The video for...

    Rod Puppet Sculpting

    Apoxie-Sculpt would work, but it would be heavy. You could try laying it over a lighter armature...it'll bond permanently to any material. There's another product by the same company that I haven't tried yet...it's more like a clay, but dries like a plastic putty, called Critter Clay (for...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

    Steve Whitmire Lecture/Workshop at the Center for Puppetry Arts

    I would absolutely have paid more for a longer class- I'd pay even more over time for a set of classes! Since it appears a lot of you travelled to attend, I'm not sure what kind of enrollment he could expect for a local program; but I went on a random day and incidentally ran into two guys I...

    Steve Whitmire Lecture/Workshop at the Center for Puppetry Arts

    Yeah...reading through this thread (which I should have done in the first place), it sounds like he made it further into his material on other days, and some of that material dealt with expressing sentience through a puppet. Wish I'd gotten a chance to hear...:/ It was all pertinent, just...

    Steve Whitmire Lecture/Workshop at the Center for Puppetry Arts

    I've been lurking for a few months...didn't think to check here before attending the Whitmire lecture since it's not a local board....you long-distance travelers is crazy! I'm not a puppeteer- the workshop was my first experience- but I live in Atlanta, so it was easy enough to drop in (Sunday...
