I'm working on a project for the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. I built 6 characters for the project and Matt Fichner and Noreen Young built two other characters. They are going to be used for some short video's on a kids boating saftey web site, as well as in photographson the site. I posted pictures of the puppets, as well as the large anamatronic boat that the characters are based. (I also operated this large boat at some events)

check out the pics here:

Nice puppets there matey.

Just realised, you are the same chap, who did a version of "Betrayed" from Mel Brook's musical "The Producers" - which can be found on youtube.

Any chance you have some of your Avenue Q performances?

Hey great job Ben!

I am sure you are very proud. Matt and Noreen are amazing builders in their own right. To be included with them says a lot about your building talents. Congrats!

Anyone who wants to see Ben perform live, I highly recommend visiting this years Puppets Up! festival. Ben is an equally outstanding performer (video doesn't do justice to his performances).
