Recently, my wife and I hit Hollywood with a simple sock puppet and a video camera.

See the video here.

Read about the project here.

We would like to involve as many people as possible in this thing, and send this puppet all over the world!!!

I can't seem to see the video but as I stated in the other thread I love the idea.

When I created the .wmv file, I thought it would be nice and small. Looks like it's huge. (Like I said, this is a learning experience!) Sometime in the next couple of days, I'll try to make the file smaller and in a more universal format.

Yeah, it's no frills to the extreme!

After Chinatown, it looks like Timmy is going to Sidney Australia!!!

WOW! Behold the awesome power of the internet!!!

This was a pretty funny flic. Only wish the lighting would have been a bit better for ya. Most of the video just seemed so dark that you couldn't see the facial expressions of Timmy well at all. It was more of a shadow puppet. (maybe that was what you were going for) What I could see and hear was clever indeed! You've got a great thing going here. Can't wait to see what comes out next.

Yeah, I learned quite a bit about lighting that day. The next installment will be better.

I want to hit Chinatown for the New Years Day parade . . . we'll see!

I really like this idea :smile: and the video too. So I'd love to show Timmy around Amsterdam sometime if you want me to. I can go visit a coffeeshop and the red light district aswell as Anne Frank's house and the Van Gogh Museum just to name a few things. I could also have him interact with one of my own puppets.

Send me an email or pm me and we'll talk details. I think I can borrow my sisters camera for a day.
