Our first real video shot on our new HD camcorder. Enjoy! Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Well done. The puppet performance is very good (puppet arm and hand gesturing especially) and the edits and music all work well.

Two points of constructive advice: When camera angle is low and shooting up into the puppet's jaw (as it was probably done here to hide the puppeteers), it will improve your character's eye contact and focus if the puppet's head is tipped down slightly toward the camera. This will keep the face of the puppet parallel to the camera lens and the viewer will not feel like they are looking up (or being dwarfed by) the puppet.

Also, a lav microphone clipped to a headband would dramatically improve the vocals, which were a bit thin and seemed to be located "behind" (or under) the puppet on the screen.

The ideas are great... keep making videos

Thanks for the advice Toasty.

I am working on finding a good lavalier mic with a wireless transmitter. I also appreciate the tips on angles in regards to the puppet. Great advice.

oh, and thanks for watching.
