New Hat, No Limbs Blues - My prototype puppet sings the blues and Freestyle Rappin' with Daddy Sack - Session 1 - My Flow They are still lousy quality because I hadn't found out how to focus yet when I made them. And as you can see I have other things to work at aswell. But other than that...

I got a new PC this week and I thought I'd test some things out so I made a video with my sockpuppet prototype. Never mind the quality though. I just shot it with a cheap webcam because I'm still saving up for a DV Camcorder. And I'm still trying to figure out how all those editing programs...

Hey again puppetpeople, I've been away for awhile. Busy with alot of other stuff :) But now I'm in the process of starting my own webseries using sockpuppets. And I've been looking everywhere. But I can't find a descent comparison review of webcams anywhere. They all just talk about taking...

Check out this guy: http://www.capturedbyrobots.com/ :p And I thought the Rock 'n Roll Puppet Show was already weird

I have a question about using fur, felt, etc. Where I live Antron Fleece is not available. I could order it from abroad. But the costs would be pretty high. Not to mention the fact that I would have to use a second washing machine to dye it. So I've decided to use felt instead. I've heard...

http://www.schoepferseyes.com/index.html They also do custom work :) I'm actually looking for a European company with a diverse selection such as this. Does anyone know of such a company?

We've finally got our Pawns and Puppets website up. The content is still limited to some banners and a wallpaper. But we are also going to make some avatar pictures etc. And we also have some plans for more wallpapers and other sockpuppets plus a Sockpuppet Tutorial! Feel free to pay us a...

What do all of you use to carve foam with? I prefer not to use heat to singe it because of the chemicals released then. And I do know most people use a turkey cutter. But I can only find electric bread knives here. I'm guessing because those blades have ridges it would tear the foam apart. And...

I started working on my new site this week. It's about puppetshows from the Netherlands and Belgium. But not just shows. Also movies, commercials, music videos, etc. Everything puppetry related, spoken in the Dutch language and showed on TV or on the big screen applies. I didn't do much yet...

Just in case any of you are busy making your own video's: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=51345&item=7120684986&rd=1 This is apparently 100% legit. Just check his feedback. Me and a friend both ordered this one. Usually it's around $800 while this guy sells them for...

Hey I have a question... I have this idea for shooting a regional commercial for a construction company (just an idea though, I still need to pitch it to my partner in crime and then the company itself). I need two puppets for this. And they are supposed to wear construction helmets and perhaps...

I don't know if this is old news already. But I just thought I'd share it anyway. These are the three titles coming out on DVD according to Play.com: Jim Henson's Mother Goose: Hickory Dickory Dock & Other Stories http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=532659&p=57&g=72 Jim...

I saw this prototype of a Skesis head on eBay. It's signed by Frank Oz, Jim Henson and Gary Kurtz. Check out the Star Wars items this seller has aswell. http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60360&item=3854476306&rd=1...

Saw this tape on eBay. I'd buy it myself if the shipping cost etc wouldn't become that high for me. But I thought maybe someone else is interrested in it. The same seller also has some weird Turtles, Live on Tour tape I had never heard of before...

I just watched the Book Of Pooh DVD and I was wondering about a few things. I read the interview with the creator and so I know they've used Bunraku techniques. If I'm correct there are 3 puppeteers operating each puppet. Can anyone tell me what bodyparts each individual puppeteer operates and...

You'll have to hurry if you still want these. I wanted to get them but I decided my money would be better spent on Adobe software. Although I do feel bad because I've always wanted this set. http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5933790589&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT...

I know most of you deal with foam instead of latex. But I thought I'd ask anyway. I've been experimenting with latex to make sure that when I make a mold that I won't make any mistakes. I want to put some color into it if that's possible. But I'm not using professional latex. I use regular...

I have a couple of questions: The first one is for Andrew. When looking at your Tumbles Project I noticed that the foam seems to be covered with something. It looks to me like you covered the foam with latex. If so... how do you do that? and why? My second question is about hands. I'm...
