Thanks for all the kind words,

Im not happy with all of the puppetry myself, , unfortunetley , they did not provide a monitor for me,so i was flying blind most of the time, lots of stuff i know i could have done better if i had a frame of refference , but over all it was a great working experience.

and yes MTV does seem to hate Non-Americans, and Kittens, but then , i hate Kittens too :stick_out_tongue:

It is perhaps one of the biggest technical mistakes to make on any puppet video shoot.

If anyone is going to make a video with any type of budget, please provide your puppeteer(s) with a monitor. It makes a world of difference.

Even if your director has experience working with puppets, but especially if s/he has no expereince. You need to give us a monitor. Please.

Wow, even better work considering you had no monitor. I am at work, but want to watch that video again and again. Oh and to the MTV hates non-US people comments (funny kitty comment Buck) - MTV-UK was blocking all of their Fur TV videos for at least a month when it was first released - U.S. couldn't watch them. So it goes both ways, if that makes any sense.
