Puppets & Sets in progress

[Buck-Beaver]

Hi all,

I've been working on a fun project with a bunch of other talented puppeteers/builders since December. Can't post too much about it just yet, but we are posting pictures and video of work-in-progress almost daily (well, Monday to Friday).

If you're on twitter follow @unraku or visit http://twitter.com/unraku

The first of the short videos is up at http://12seconds.tv/v/T6CPF (btw, that's not me in the video!).

I haven't even seen much about this and I'm excited already!

Very cool moose eyebrow mechanism!

Very cool!

Hey Buck. I assumed it was you and your troupe that posted the need for background puppeteers for a video shoot add on Craig's List. Am I correct?

Nice moose head that Mathieu is building btw.

There have been some ongoing auditions/puppeteer training, although there is also a Jewish group in the GTA recruiting puppeteers so I'm not sure which ad you saw.

There is only one Craig's List add up, so it must be you guys. No one answered my email, but that's okay. I'm not really wanting the training, just curious about who was offering it.

Oh no, there is more than one. This is the Jewish group looking for puppeteers - http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/yrk/med/1529479916.html

I was told there was also someone recruiting for a Fringe show recently too, but couldn't find that one. It seems to have expired or been taken down.

Hey Buck,

Thanks for that link, but I didn't read anywhere that they were looking for puppeteers for a video shoot. I guess my focus is on film and video.

It seems from the add that they are interested in puppeteers for live shows. I might have actually spoken with someone from their organization a few years ago and that is what they had wanted then.

Are they looking for puppeteers for a video shoot? Or is it just your group looking for video puppeteers?

P.S. I just checked your post time, boy you are up late...or early. Yikes!

 

[Buck-Beaver]

Just us...I think. I don't really know much about the Jewish group unfortunately.

Also, the end bumper is part creepy and part adorable.
