    Custom Puppet - Spike Lee

    Fantastic! He's a dead ringer. I definitely remember those commercials.

    New Short Film

    I loved the short. I have been wanting to do a bit of stop motion. What is the program called that you used to see your last and current frame simultaneously? I've actually been wanting something like that for a while.

    My Second Puppet

    That is really good for a second attempt! He looks like he could have a great puppet personality. Keep going because I'd love to see what you come up with. Don't worry, your skills will undoubtedly improve with each puppet you build.

    Corraline Puppets & artistry

    I am seeing Coraline this Friday. The artistry is amazing and the story looks creepy great! I mentioned the film to one of my friends and she said "Five years," stone face, "it took them five years to make that movie. Why would they go to that much trouble?" I laughed. Some people don't get...

    New Puppeteer Looking for Feedback

    It looks like a good start. I like the checkered fur on the green dude. A couple pieces of advice I have are to experiment with new things like eye shapes and materials (like something other than the rubber band for the eye lashes), and think of a character you would like to have before just...

    Need advice on adult puppet web-series

    My comment was not aimed at you Mike, it was just a general comment on the topic at hand of what is "Adult". Your stuff is just fine.

    Need advice on adult puppet web-series

    I don't like the idea that cussing makes it adult. I am an adult and I don't want to hear cussing at all. I feel that it is usually an unnecessary short cut to an end result that could have been resolved better with more thought. Adult oriented programs should not be categorized as cussing...

    Puppets and Major Brands

    I absolutely LOVE the foster farms chickens! I wish they would make more soon. Stacey, I am a hockey fan and it is so exciting to me to see that Pierre worked out as a spokes puppet and he is still going strong (it's nice to see your two "checking line" creations in it too.). I want there...

    Puppets and Major Brands

    I just remembered a puppet that was in the big time, at least it caught my attention, not that long ago. Sony put out a few commercials featuring "Plato Blue" a blue alien puppet who loved his Sony Walkman mini disc player (totally eclipsed by iPod now) and I thought I'd bring him back to our...

    Need advice on adult puppet web-series

    I actually like the feel of the show so far, but it could use some change. I agree that you don't need to make things look like college to play to the college crowd. All the swearing is definitely unnecessary and it can be seen as unintelligent by... most people. Steer clear of any MTV type...

    New Puppet: Git!

    He reminds me of the "Invader Zim" style. I like him, and he makes me wonder when the black nail polish on men will fade back into the style archives. Maybe that's why his name is Git, because he can be a git? I was intrieged when you said he's for the "FITC design festival", and I looked it...

    Dark Crystal Inspired Music Video

    I am glad to see that puppets are still on some people's minds to give them what they are looking for in the visual effects department, and they don't just go strait to computers. Cool video too, and nice song.

    Animatronic Dog puppet like Henson Creature Shop

    I like it. When I watched the video, it reminded me of Harrry from "Harry and the Hendersons" and Chewbacca in his expressions. Very cool!
