Bear Town: Episode Two Online

[Buck-Beaver]

Hi everyone,

Just thought that I would post a quick note to let people know that the second episode of my little puppet web series is online. You can check it out here.

It's still kind of a work in progress, but let me know what you think!

Andrew, I love your cockroach puppets! And thats really saying something because I really hate cockroaches something terrible. Very clever indeed. Good form ol' boy.

Just downloaded. I loved that. Short and sweet. Loved the cockroaches, reminded me alot like the early versions of Worms from the PC game "Worms" though - but only when they had clothes on, they looked *more* like cockroaches when we could see their ribbed chests...

The quality of the video and sound wasn't as crisp as the first *high* version of episode one was, I had to bring my speaker volume up all the way!

Didn't realise Hank's eyes moved! :-p

Glad you guys like it; I'm still sort of playing around with the video and audio settings and trying to find the appropriate balance between image quality and file size. With the first episode the file sizes were huge, it was rediculous. This time around I tried using using Cleaner to reduce the file size and it seems to compress them a little too well.

Nice Work!

Those little cockroaches are awesome. They remind me of some grasshoppers I built in junior high, scaled to Barbie so they could wear Mattel-brand clothing (it's the hottest fashion on the puppet scene you know).

Very clever skit; great puppeteering and editing jobs!

I agree with robin on the soundquality. It was better last time. But other than that it was again a fun little episode.

We don't have Quicktime at work, so I'll have to wait to see this 'un. The pics look funny, though.

I just noticed the picture in the background looks like the early version of Tumbles and (I'm guessing) Hank and Omle. Awesome! I love finding details like that in the background.

Yup! I was waiting to see if someone noticed that - it's a framed picture of the three bears from the original "Bear Town" shoot ten years ago signed by the original puppeteers. There's little easter eggs like that buried in every episode, some of them are listed on the site and some aren't.

i saw both episodes for the first time today. Great work on both of them, i'm not sure if it was just the computer i was on but the sound seemed a little out of sync on the second.
