Best Way to Audition Puppeteers?

[TheCreatureWork]

Be certain to ask for references- two work and one personal. Make sure when you call the references you ask them how long they know the candidate and at what capacity. Also ask weaknesses and strengths. When asking reference questions make sure you ask open ended questions that will make the reference babble on. LOL If anyone gives you a one word answer ask them to allaborate...a good reference will be honest to and let you know what the person needs to work on. We all have faults- it's just picking out the person who has less faults or someone who's faults you can live with and work on

good ideas creaturework...

thats one thing i learned from famed documentarian Errol Morris.... he always said...ask the question...then SHUT UP....and no matter how akward the silence....stay quiet... then the subjects feel compelled to fill the void with babble...lol...some of his best footage came from that...
