Hello,

It has been a few months, I have been animating on a childerens product and so I have not been able to keep up. But, now I have a few hours of breathing room, so I thought I would post some links to my mouse rod puppet demostrating his mouth movement and such. His eyes do blink as well.
(he still needs paint, and... well another arm)

Looks pretty good.

Out of curiosity, what animation were you working on?

Hello,

Sorry, I would have responded sooner, but I got caught up on some final animations for a project I am working on. Which is a good segway to answer the question of "what animation". Currently I have been working on animating a couple of charaters for a childerns edutainment game. My history mostly involves me being an animator on such projects. Since it is not completed I can not discluse exact details. I was asked to design to main characters and than animate them using a 3D software.

Next, I am very excited that you want one Puppet_builder. If I do recall you had said that before. Thank you. So with that being said, Yes every puppet I make is up for sale. Right now I am working out the final details on the mouse and getting the "kinks" out. If you email mail me privatly I am sure we can work something out.

William,

Do you use foam or rubber latex for your puppet?

Sorry, I missed that question. In this case he is made out of rubber latex.

Cheers,
Bill
