LOL! Nope, I'm not trying to volunteer here, just trying to keep things moving. If you are still game for this, I'm still content to wait (given this time of year waiting is a Very Good Thing). If there is anything I can do to help in any way possible, feel free to let me know. But it just...

So where are we? Buck, Are we still in the mysterious "cardtoupdate" status? I'm assuming at this point we're talking about the New Year for the puppet video, which is actually okay with me (working on anything between Thanksgiving and New Year's is extremely difficult). But I also get...

This is the website: http://www.osgoodtextile.com/

So... still no website? Buck, I know you're still around, because you're still posting here. What's up with the site? If it's not going to be viable for this, perhaps we should start looking elsewhere. Or has interest just totally died on this? (My fear all along was that momentum would...

That would be just fine with me, but can I suggest " Winter Holidays" rather than Christmas? While I have no problem with Christmas there may be others who don't celebrate it and may feel left out. I'm not trying to be too PC here -- if everyone wants to do Christmas I'm on board -- but it...

Yes, I want to participate... but didn't want to be the first (um, I'm not shy under *normal* circumstances, but I'm not exactly confident in the pupper performing arena). So far we don't seem to have upload capabilities just yet, so I'm guessing Buck might want to consider extending the...

Okay, I was all geared up to participate in the great Puppet video project and... No web site today (and no forum, natch). Um, Buck, are you working on it to allow uploading, or are there more serious problems?

Greg, If the book you purchased was The Foam Book (kind of the Bible on foam puppet building) you'll be in real good shape. That book and the nearby Jo-Anns was all I needed to get started. I have absolutely zero talent when it comes to this kind of artsy-crafty sort of thing, and people...

Hmmmm, I'm a little worried that so far we only have four votes for topics on Buck's site -- come on, folks, don't you want to participate? Or are you just laying low and going with whatever topic is decided? Tomorrow night is the deadline (appropriately enough, considering) so get your...

Thanks, Buck, for setting this all up. I'll be voting (and posting) on your site as soon as I get my email for registration (probably as soon as I finish typing this response). We should continue to remind everyone here of this, and perhaps even mention it on the other puppet boards around...

That's okay -- I totally understand how that feeling goes <g>. But do make sure you email me when you get settled in.

Yes, but surely someone you *know* has a video camera (everyone does, nowdays -- just ask your uncle Norman to borrow his). Or, as Buck says, you can get a web cam (although the res is pretty low they *are* cheap). Or rent a camcorder for an afternoon. Or, if you live in the United States, go...

Um, unlikely, if you are inferring that being seen is being seen by someone famous. Steve was most probably pointed to that review page by someone else (a FOAF) and even that person probably doesn't read all or even any of these threads. Face it, guys and gals, these people are busy. It's...

And the reason the sketch works is because it actually builds properly. First Terri gives him a telescope (I do believe), then a watch, and then the punchline (the hidden car) when he leaves. Perfectly built, follows the rule of threes, and is also very short. In today's SNL this sketch...

Um, WOZ isn't copyrighted, although the movie is. Frank L. Baum's books (all of his books, although the WOZ series was later taken over by other authors who wrote new books after he died and those books remain in copyright) are public domain. Which is why it's so tempting for people to...

Here's a good link on technique (although specifically aimed at video productions it works for all puppetry): http://home.earthlink.net/~lbrodie/extra/camramnp.html There are very good books out there on this as well. Here's a good site with lots of book links...

It's pretty clear that The Muppets are fair game for satire -- some of it (like Simpsons' references) I find amusing. But as someone who has watched SNL (and "live") since the very first episode, I have to say my wife and I have just about had it. Maybe it's because we are no longer in the...

Yes, but you've said nothing to dispute my statement -- you *are* the guy who consistently answers the question. That isn't to say that others don't contribute, but you can always be counted on to not leave people hanging. Plus, I would also say that your frequent posts about upcoming events...

I've never seen anything quite like this before, so I can't give you a link that's similar. Here's what I *wouldn't* do: www.puppetweb.com (and go to the Online Videos). These are all *way* too long -- and because they are all varying formats (and not on any single theme as the proposed...
