It's finally done! Huzzah! You can check it out now, at this page, here. I also recorded a commentary track, which you can listen to here.
The show turned out quite well, I think: I'm very happy with the end result, and very, very thankful for the help of my excellent team of puppeteers -- Nick, Kim and Kanja, y'all rock!
I hope everyone likes the show. If you do, please tell other people about the show. Spread the word!

Enjoy!

I hope to see it on Youtube. I can't seem to get it to work for me.

Wicked work man. I love the different variations of puppets especially the big guy in the office he kind of reminded me of a furry jabba the hut.

The language does not really bug me (our 1st episode of PT had allot) I think it suits the characters. My favorite Character so far is Diab, I love how he is so vulgar and blunt I anticipate seeing him all the time because I know Hilarity will insume.

For some reason I can't wait to see Diab Interact with the Boss it seems like that will turn out to be an hilarious interaction between the two.



Very impressed with your first episode I'll be sure to tell everyone i know about it. (I know it's hard to get comments sometimes from people still waiting for some myself!)


maybe PT -DB will do a crossover one day :smile:


Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Chino, I'm glad you liked it. It turned out pretty well, I think -- all things considered, including this being my first ever attempt at filming, directing, and puppeteering. The subsequent episodes will be bigger and better, as we iron out all of the kinks.

Yeah, I think the swearing suits them, too. They don't swear for sake of swearing, nor is their vulgarity for shock, I'm just doing it without censoring myself. That's one of the up-shots of not actually being on television, I suppose.

Diab's my favorite character right now, too. He's the id, and those characters always get the good lines. He will definitely feature prominently in the show.

Thanks again for the kind words, Chino.

Thanks!

A number of the puppets were built using the Project Puppet patterns, either partially or directly. The rest I designed. I built them all myself, which took way longer than I thought it would. :smile:

I'm glad you like the show!
