What sort of material did you use to cover the Yoda and Jedi puppets? It's beautiful!

Antron fleece which, alas, is no more.

Below is a link to a pic of Mace Windu, sans his nose and eyes. I have to do some more work on him, his lower jaw is really huge for some reason:

[Buck-Beaver]

Ask and ye shall receive...I just posted a bunch of pics from our last shoot online - http://angrypuppets.blogspot.com/2005/03/another-day-another-shoot.html

I hope to have new puppet pics up by the end of the week.

Hey Buck - Is that a Sony Digi8 camera?

Is that what you use? 'cuz your picture quality in "Bear Town" is fantastic!

Thanks. Bear Town was shot with a Canon ZR-65. Really you can get good image quality on almost anything with proper lighting though.

Looking swell there Buck. Buck's right, lighting is everything. I have a Canon Optura 20 and it shoots great footage with the right lighting. Also if you want great quality, Mini DV is the format to go with.

MiniDV is pretty good, but after shooting on it for a few years I'm switching to DVCAM because I find the quality of the tapes is better. It's more expensive, but there are fewer dropped frames and superior image quality.
