I don't have anything against Mr. Kevin Clash per se, he seems like a great fellow. SO I wonder what he thinks about all the Elmoization happening, and who's exactly responsible for the spread of the red tide, so to speak.:concern:

I always thought it would be cool- and incredibly difficult- to make a puppet with living grass and small trees growing on it. But that would take a lotta patience, dirt, and showers. Who knows, it may happen! Hybrid puppets are the puppets of the future!:D Agreed, that T shirt is made of win...

Sewing ain't hard, per se, but sewing good takes a whole lotta practice I tell ya. I'm learning something new everytime I mess up on a puppet's construction (which is often!). It just takes practice, patience, and more sewing.

Fabulous! Can't wait to try it out sometime:D

Gotcha:coy:

Well said, my friend!

Ooo, for googly eyes?:insatiable:

I definitely think you hit it right on the nosey, my friend. :) CGI still can't beat puppets in terms of live actor interaction.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy mixed CGI and puppetry. In an interview with the actors who worked alongside the enormous "Vogon" puppets, they expressed their fascination with the process. They said, in contrast to the CGI, they could actually SEE what it was that was interacting with...

Yahyahyah, Rick Lyon sed he used REAL hair for KM's hair. of course, a wig made of real hair. U don't need to go that far, but just some fun facts that may come in handy.:halo: Everything else looks like it would be fabulous, but the Trekkie fur would also work for KM (maybe a little better...

I read that Rick Lyon used this custom-made machine that dispenses these "VacuuForm" eyeballs for his Ave. Q work. They're very high quality eyes, but I'm not sure if it's an easily attainable technique, machine, or material. Otherwise, I'd improvise on the eyes. I have always marveled at the...

Fabulous! I was wondering how this allusion could be achieved without exposing the puppeteer's hands. Thanks for the advice!:halo:

Every time I hear "The Rainbow Connection," I bawl like a baby. It's so touching for some reason to me. SO I'd pick that one.

I was debating in my head for a very long time how to achieve the puppet allusion of consuming, like Cookie Monster's mouth. I know the mouth has some kind of hole surreptitiously placed in it so that objects can fall into the puppet (and often on the puppeteer's head). But I have no idea where...

It'd be wonderful to meet the guy.He seems like such a neat feller. I'm so jealousss!:)

Boy, I feel a bit leery about it. And at the same time, I'm looking forward to seeing the Muppets again. I just hope they don't destroy Henson's great legacy. So much hangs in the balance! Oooooo, I'm nervouuuus:eek:

Doh! :o Sry, I only based my assumption on the sound of PD's voice. I shoulda known better. Thank you!

Also an amazing thing, puppetry is! I've always marveled at the power puppets can hold over an audience. It's a mystery!

LOL, oh, don't fret about it! As long as you love puppetry, and feel a connection with the characters you operate, you'll be fine. But just practice, perform, and give it ur all!;)

Hehe, don't forget Stephanie D'Abruzzo. I think she did the Prairie Dawn character.
