My Progress

[Was Once Ernie]

If God had wanted you to put your truck in the garage, he never would've invented driveways.

Or lawns. Or cinder blocks.

Here are the doors in action.

Actually, you gave me the idea on how to construct this set years ago, Buck! Can you believe I've been planning it since this link from 2005!

Yes I can especially considering that "massive scaled city block set" I mentioned in the thread is only now in the early stages of construction (at last!).

It's really weird because I feel like I did almost nothing on this project up until about 8 months ago... it seems weird that I would stew over something like this for 4 years, then attack it with such a passion again. Of course, most of the work I've done recently has been because I finally moved into a house with a garage.

But progress is progress!

 

[Buck-Beaver]

Garages are nice.

 

[Jinx]

Better still are houses with studios. I understand that a studio can be converted to a garage, if necessary!

Still chugging along. Having our first cast script reading on Saturday. Very cool to actually be getting to this stage of production! Here's a short clip of me messing around with one of my old puppets and a standee, testing camera lenses. If you haven't already, you might want to invest in a wide-angle lens for your productions -- best $25 I ever spent!

Melonpool...I really like your uniqueness with your theme. It feels like a comic with the name and the characters. I really dig your whole concept to incorprate puppets as a live comic strip. Kudos!

Still chugging along on this project. The set's almost ready to be painted and I started working on some of the puppets. Here's my first rod puppet, made from a wig form:

(and yes, she'll have a body sooner or later)
